Motivation for writing

I see it more as a long game where. It comes to writing

So jot down every idea and archive it

See yourself improve and laugh at your old self

Finally a little bit of something here and there makes something good. A good quote I can't rememeber who I got from

I just write cause keeping the ideas pent up makes me a literal madman and depressed and when i write something i am proud of i feel a sense of accomplishment. Like i added a bit more color and beauty to this godforsaken world.

>How do you motivate yourself to write?
The feeling that I might be doing something worthwhile instead of just wasting my life completely.

What font and size should you use to write? Say for example you are writing a novel.

>>9208908
times new roman is the standard
I like Century Schoolbook
font doesn't usually go below 11 or above 14

>doesnt do hand writing

I mentally beat the living shit out of myself, to the point where I'm often crying, until I get back to the keyboard and write.

i shut down my router

I use Helvetica, size 12. Just seems like a softer, friendlier font than Times New Roman.

Though admittedly I did once write a story in Comic Sans when I was eight or nine. Don't do that.

You need not start a novel on page one every time you pick up a pen. Its intimidating, and thusly you shrink from the task. So think of scenes,situations,thoughts and ideas with no relation to each other,and write those down. Anything that comes out of your head and onto paper is a win. Everything need not be useful at the moment you pen it,and it need not be in its final form either. Its getting stuff on paper that's important.
