Why I can't write a book

I can't write a book...
I would like to...
But there are a few reasons why I probably won't.

1. I procrastinate
Wow a teenager who procrastinates, never heard that one before! But seriously I procrastinate for the lamest reasons, "It's too hot", "I'm hungry", "Doctor Who is on". I struggle to even do cosplay because I either clean up my work space then forget to do it or I do it for 6 hours straight.

2. Where's the meat?
I have ideas, plots and characters but not the stuff in between. I want so badly to get to a certain event that I get lazy and vague on the parts in between.

3. Disaster!
I lost all the notes on my mac and all my story ideas, quote ideas and character profiles TT^TT


4. I need a Tardis
Time! I need time! I'm so busy with dance, cosplay, school, job hunting and sleep that I don't have time to sit down and write.

5. Get in the mood...
I need to be in the mood to write. When I was in the pub at Lake June sitting in wooden seats by a fire with hot chocolate and snow falling on still green trees, all I wanted to do was write.

6. Too many ideas!
Either I'll try and squeeze too much into one character or story or I'll get bored with one story and start another because I have a great idea.

7. Old ways die hard
I'm a fanfiction writer, or I used to be before Year 12. I'm used to writing characters people already know and love, putting in inside jokes that reference the series. Everything I need is already done for me. I mean we don't want another 50 shades of Grey right? Besides if I changed the names in my fanfics and tried to sell it it'd be 50 shades of spelling and grammatical errors.

8. Money
Authors don't make a lot of money, JK Rowling and John Green don't apply to this statement but it's true. I would love to have it as a hobby but I doubt I'd ever finish but if I took a year off to write a book how would I support myself?

9. Fear
I'm a very confident and outgoing person but I still fear alot and something that would destroy me would be if I spent a ton of time and effort on a book and no-one like it or no-one want to publish it. Fear is something I can overcome but I would still struggle, thankfully I have Taz to support me whenever I'm down :)

10. Just keep swimming
I can started but it's keeping going that I struggle, so I'm setting myself a challenge.
I'm currently writing a Fairy Tail fanfic and I will write a full story. I'm not making it as long as a story, the chapters will be over 1000 words each and I'm aiming for over 20 chapters. I'm up to chapter 5 and have written 5346 words. (This is a lot for me)

If I can finish this fanfiction maybe I'll try writing a book...who knows?
Until then I'll make sure Taz keeps writing hers!

Catch you later xx
