Hi,

I'm Half Heart, and I'm new to writing webnovels. Well kind of.... because, I started to write 10 months ago.

It was then that a story popped up in my head and wouldn't let me think of anything else if I didn't let the world know of this "great" story I came up with.

But as I started to write, I began to procrastinate to the point that it's been 10 months and I'm only at chapter 31 with around 35,500 words.

I am in a state that is basically, "I want the story to be written and completed, but I avoid writing and do something else every time I try to write."

It also doesn't help that English is my second language. Although I can speak and write English fluently, I never wrote anything "professional" using it. Whenever I write in English, I sound overly academic, likely influenced by how I learnt it and also chatting with ai chats a lot, as I'm an introvert.

Coming back to the main question, when you started to write as a new writer, what was your strategy to overcome procrastination?

I genuinely love the story I am writing and want to turn it into a multi volume epic as the story needs it to be like that. I even have the whole lore and main plot points written in a word document.

I would really appreciate it if your suggestions help me continue writing as I have already thought of a sequel story continuing the original but in a completely different way.

I won't share the story name or link as the rules suggest I should have at least 5 meaningful contributions. But, as you can see from my profile, I just created this account and am new to reddit.

Although, you can find the links to it in my profile's social links, if you want to give it a read and see if you can enjoy the story, or find anything I can improve upon.
