Book Writing, Is it worth it?

[WahmenRespektor]

For the past two years I've had a urge to write a book, a novel of sorts (Just a personal project) yet everytime I pick up a pencil to write my inspiration just dies out immediately, I have no sense of joy while writing and usually just end up tossing away self-rejected pieces of writings over and over again. I have a book title that I wish to keep a secret, I have ideas for characters and lore for places within the world but everytime I try and write I just end up forgetting it all and tossing away everything.

What I'm essentially asking, or trying to is how can I overcome the feeling of pointlessness? I WANT to have this book be good for myself but I genuinely have no idea how to get the same drive I did years I had previously in today's time...

For those who've written books, novels or even giant personal projects such as mine, did you ever feel a sense of it all being pointless or useless? If so, how did you overcome it?

Make a list of key words in order, which would represent the storyline. Then write the story based off the list so you don't lose track. If you feel like its useless, you could always write it for someone rather than yourself.

I write music so definitely not the size of writing your doing but I know what you mean. Once I can at least get a writing started it makes it easier and motivates me more to keep adding stuff. It just takes that one push to get started and my mind opens up and I can write more. That, and when a good idea pops in my head I just type it up and when I sit down to write I just go through my notes and try to reword and piece things together I think that will fit. That's just what works for me.

Hi, of course it is worth it, if you are really a good writer, and know how to attract readers' interest. I wouldn't start writing a book, as I'm not the best writer, sometimes I even use uk essay help for my college papers, and think it's a good thing to do it. It's very convenient when you can order papers online.
