Discussion: writing funks. Do you ever get in a funk where you feel that what you're writing is terrible?

Comments

With exchange reveals happening at the weekend, I cross posted the fic I wrote to my comm earlier.

I'm in one right now. I just can't seem to get my brain to be kind to the words at all and it's frustrating as anything.

My funks happen when I can't actually get started writing; once I really make myself sit down and concentrate, I can usually get some words out that don't seem terrible.

I'm usually not a fan of my own writing and can have a lot of problems with not having confidence in what I write. So yeah I guess I think my writings not that great a lot of the time.

Had a sick day, but I was at least able to go over new 'fic ideas in my head while I was taking couch time.

Writing funks happen to me on a regular basis. It's one of those things where I know it's a funk, and I know I've got to deal with it, but the actual 'dealing with it' is still hard.
