I was working on a first-person book for a g e s , and now I'm having a lot of trouble writing in third-person :'c': I don't like describing my characters' actions dramatically/properly in first-person, because it reflects on the character speaking; and I don't like describing them at all, because how often do people go off on spiels of what they look like to themselves? lol. And now my story's all messed-up :'c': I'll get the hang again eventually... but please... tell me I'm not alone in this XD':

Does life seem a whole lot brighter when you've been writing regularly? I didn't notice anything different while I wasn't, but now I'm full o' beans, and really looking forward to writing later in the day, even if I'm mildly dissatisfied while doing it ;p It's really refreshing
I know what you mean!! I hate changing PoV when I've been writing in another for a long time.
If it helps, try reading a book written in the PoV you're trying to write to try and get your head into that mindset, idk if it'll help but it seems like a good idea.
As for the second thing, it depends what I'm writing tbh. Like for that advent challenge I was writing a lot of personal, kind of deep emotional poetry and I sort of found that to be really mentally draining, which sort of made me take a downward turn. But then when I'm making headway with my book and doing projects that I'm looking forward to I do feel like it brightens my life. In a way, even in the first situation, my life was kind of better because I was venting my feeling in my writing. Huh.

Hey so I've been slowly continuing with 10,000 Doors and I wrote a little thing that I'm kind of proud of that I wanted to share (that may or not have been slightly inspired by some song lyircs)
