today what to do when you feel like giving up almost every writer at some stage during their writing career has a moment where they feel like giving up that moment may be fleeting be dismissed just as quickly as it came or it may be something that builds up creeps into your head and becomes impossible to shake there is no denying that writing is a tough job we all know it however there are times where writing can feel so tough it's hard to carry on perhaps you're suffering from writer's block and tired of being so exasperated and infuriated that no words seem to want to come out or perhaps you suffered a rejection or being given a particularly bad review perhaps you just can't find the time to write or have got into such a routine of procrastination that you wonder how you'll ever get back to writing regularly again feeling as though you are wasting your time that you'll never become a successful that no one really cares about your writing can be pretty draining however before you decide to pack in writing forever you need to really be sure it's the right decision and not something you will come to regret more often than not quitting isn't the right choice so what should you do when you feel like giving up to really be sure one way or another let's take a look first how do you feel only you know deep down inside how you truly feel try to get to the very root cause of how you feel and be honest with yourself about what is causing you to feel this way more often than not there might be a particular problem that as a solution if you truly find writing unenjoyable and can't see how you could ever change that you'll know that maybe it's time to stop next where have you gotten to if you're just forming a new idea and you feel like giving up already it may simply be that this particular idea isn't going to work Park it and try working on something else for a while to see if that gets you motivated again if you are midway through a writing project just look how far you've come already it might be tough but if you've come this far why not try and push through until the end and then see how you feel next what is writing getting in the way of sometimes we could feel like giving up on rides it because it takes away from other things we want to do writing doesn't come without sacrifice but if there's something that you feel is lacking from your life and writing is getting in the way of it try to reassess your priorities to shift and doodle some of your daily activities to find room for both why not cut your writing time or find a different slot for it rather than quitting altogether next reassess your goals you might feel like giving up on writing because you have simply given yourself too much to do your writing goal should be challenges but they don't have to make you feel totally stressed out or pressured why not create some easily achievable goals to help give you more of a sense of achievement with your writing and then start to build up again from there and next give yourself time just because thoughts of giving up comes into your head doesn't mean it's the right answer it's okay to give yourself a bit of time to think about what you really want what your goals and priorities are on what will make you happiest next surround yourself with positive people some people just aren't going to get your writing or aren't going to support you when it comes to your writing goals these people aren't helping you so try to distance yourself from or at least separate the time you spend with them from your work so you don't have to mix the two next try to finish something sometimes all it takes is getting something finished to feel as though you are back on track before you give up on your writing promise yourself you'll finish your latest projects and then reassess things after that finally take a break taking a break from your writing is not the same as giving up on it so if things are really getting on top of you give yourself some space create some distance from your writing and just return to it when you feel ready again so next time you feel like giving up why not take some time to really ask yourself why you feel like doing so then you can use these tips to get you back into a positive and productive frame of mind once more at the end of the day feeling happy and fulfilled is what is most important so do whatever feels right for you and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book or free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay
