The only thing that is stopping me is art block
I've been writing all my life and I totally feel this. This doesn't necessarily work for everyone but when I have art/writer's block I use the Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno app. It is free on the App/Play Store and usually helps me overcome my writer's block. It might be worth checking out.
I'm most inspired when I'm away from my writing station. In particular, when I'm disconnected from everything, particularly in nature. The ideas start to flow, and I can just write them down in a notebook for later
i have so many fucking idras, but i just can't focus enough to write them down.
i hate it i hate it i hate it
What stops you?
Is it the act of sitting them down and actually fleshing it out? Do you have anxiety about the quality of the ideas?
Have you tried just making bullet point notes on your phone when an idea comes to mind? It's very low stakes and hardly takes any time. I have a notes app full of ideas. Some of them grew into something bigger, others I just delete if they don't stick.
When I write down a few bullets, I find myself adding more and more throughout the week
Mostly sitting down and focusing on it. Keeping my focus on something for any amount of time is really hard for me :(
