It's been a while.
I wasn't sure how to build the world I wanted. I tried just improvising it based on the idea I had in my head at one point, but that didn't go well. Thus the removed chapter ones shortly after the prologue.
Stolen story; please report.
Now my mental health is a lot better. Not perfect, mind you- is anything perfect?
So I have some motivation and spare time to spend on things that aren't constantly working on my mental health or developing better habits for said health. Plus engaging in hobbies and stuff is good for depression.
So I asked around and got directed to a guide to methods of writing/world-building. So I can plot out the (admittedly somewhat complicated) ideas I have, rather than write chapters and hope it works out.
So eventually the writer's block will be gone.
Also, I have basically 0 confidence in writing authentic characters. But I'll try.
Cheers.
