(I don't want to quote that whole paragraph I wrote, srry >.<) @stolenbrocoli Thanks for the advice! I think I am going to go that route, although I think at least one of the characters is going to stay slightly morally dubious. But less murder-y and more focused on reform, so… good for her I guess
but yea i also have a new book idea?? which i really want to work on but at the same time i really wanna focus on my current project (which i've been working on for literal YEARS and still only have 4 chapters)
DO IT
I usually work on like three projects at once. If I get bored or frustrated with one, I switch to another. It actually kinda helps me write more often and makes the work itself turn out better. Idk if that will work for you, but hey give it a shot!

I do this too! Get writer's block on one, go to another.
yea i might start my new one and i have a feeling it'll be a little less mentally demanding than my current project so that's good. the one i'm doing right now requires soo much research and i think that's what get's me stuck
I stopped writing for two years and now I feel like my writers block is completely permanent :(
My writing skills have gone down so much and every time I try to produce something, no matter how excited I am with the idea of what I'm writing at first, I'm inevitably disappointed and never finish writing anything because I just end up comparing my current skill level to my old one, and it's extremely discouraging.
I know logically that practice and time will get me to the level I was at before, and that this frustration will pass, but I just can't seem to get past that first step.
Oh my gosh hi Jensen.

Hii!!
How’re you doing? Notwithstanding the whole writing ordeal.

so sorry i'm late with this. but if you haven't already, try writing super short stories as often as you can. it can help build those general writing skills, and on the side you can focus on worldbuilding, since that's kind of hard to practice with short stories. and also watch youtube videos for writing tips. they've helped me a lot. i went through a similar thing a while ago where i stopped writing for years and then just threw myself back into it.
