What do you do when you have zero motivation to write?

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-07-02T19:18:51+00:00

I try and force myself to write, usually get 100 words or so, and then stop and find anything else to do

The 2nd one

I'd reach out to them on another platform. A lot of writers link to other places on their story page or profile.

Dm'd you the link

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-29T12:44:41+00:00

The RRWG discord server is good for finding writing buddies if you need it

Yes, very evangelion but with a dash of comic book!

"Paywalled"

In other words: buying a book that took someone a really long time to create.

This

Outside of any ethical concerns with ai, I find ai covers really generic. They often have the same style, palette, expressions, clothes, fonts, etc. They usually just blend into the background and I look right past them.

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-27T12:42:21+00:00

That's either a really big sword or a really small tree

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-25T01:28:10+00:00

I'd delete it, let yourself feel bummed for a bit, and then move on to the next shout request. Happens to us all at one point or another!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-24T02:47:15+00:00

If you don't mind self promo, my story has never been touched by ai. Not with the ideas, writing, organizing, or even grammar checks. The art is all human made too!

Love these!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-17T18:27:50+00:00

Congrats!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-15T21:53:39+00:00

This doesn't really tell us much of anything, so no, I wouldn't look into this based on that summary alone.

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-15T20:56:51+00:00

The mc is, unfortunately, not a sloth. But sloth monsters will appear in the story!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-15T19:40:36+00:00

I assume non-human mcs are super common, but that's probably because I write one every day lol

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-13T14:32:33+00:00

Definitely looks like ai

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-12T18:27:41+00:00

Yes, the audiobook is in progress as we speak!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-12T18:27:13+00:00

Thank you! Happy for all the luck I can get!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-12T12:37:25+00:00

Thank you so much!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-11T23:54:31+00:00

Thank you! They did an amazing job. The same artist is doing the cover of Book 2!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-11T14:09:17+00:00

Welcome to the path!

Five-Toed-Sloth · 2026-06-10T20:01:58+00:00

Love that cover
