I've just gotten my first writing job writing for YT about a topic I'm very passionate about. I only need to do 2 scripts of about 1,600 words (usually end up around 1,900) a week, but I have 2-3 jobs right now, and I feel so tired. I like my work, but someday, opening that document with my deadline coming up fills me with helplessness. I suspect I have ADD, which doesn't help. Any advice to help myself write without hating myself too much..?

Hi anon!

I can give you some possible tips that might work, but I'm definitely no substitution for like... a diagnosis and treatment and professional support, or magically making energy appear when you're overworked x.x

Also I will say that a commitment of around 3.5-4k a week is a lot? That works out to around 16k a month (which works out to around 2-3 full length novels per year - to give you an idea - btw), and that's the output of many part-time and even some other full-time writers who have no other jobs. So please be realistic about your output and what you've picked up.

Some people can churn out two long essays/scripts a week no problem, but many people can't, and there's no shame in that even when it's a subject you love. I think it's important that you be realistic with the wordcount and frequency that's being expected of you, especially on top of presumably 2-3 other jobs? These are really serious considerations, and unless the remuneration/pay is worth you dropping another job, writing at this kind of level when you're not used to it, without support, isn't just a writer's block issue. That's...got a lot of other things attached to it that are pretty serious.

Like, the pay would have to be pretty special for that level of output. I'm not even including time you have to spend editing and researching on top of that. :/ I read your ask out to my partner (who is also a professional writer but in the government) and he just gave me a look of sheer horror. Sometimes, not even doing something you love undoes the fact that you've taken on a lot.

On the off chance that this is straight up writer's block and not serious burn out that needs serious attention, I'm going to link you to one of my older posts on writer's block, which has many links to potential tips/tricks you can try! I sincerely hope they help.

#asks and answers #pia on writing #i had to really stop when i saw the level of work you'd taken on #on top of the level of work you're doing #that would be hard for some people even if it was a *single* job #and you'd wanna hope you were being paid like #$35-50k to be that level of writer / editor / researcher / research assistant #per year #but i somehow think that you're not being paid that #you could be a full-time novelist and churn out three novels a year pretty easily #on what you're being asked to do #that is not a small workload #i'm so sorry anon you have to look at what you're being asked to do #against your energy levels #realistically #i personally don't think this is as simple as writer's block

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

#politics #i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA #as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD #and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually!#i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol #i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually #i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases...#...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety...#...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety...#...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks #distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D #i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

imagine you're watching the bad kids, a group of adventurers the same year as you taking the last standard exam, a test no party has ever beaten, and theyre so close to acing it, theyve killed so many monsters already

and their cleric, the previous chosen of your helioic faith, who despite having a dead god has been healing and banishing and blessing and protecting their party from the horrors around them, pops up next to you

and you've been told by your party that theyre rule breakers, kids who can get away with anything, who dont care about school

but you ask kristen applebees, despite it all, if they're alright

and thats the last thing you say before you die

Look at this friend I made on my way home the other day! What a glorious creature! So gracile and smooth! Truly a peak being. What a privilege it is to share this time in Earth’s history with creatures like this.
