Pony Art - More or Less

maxkirin:

Hello there, dear anon!

No worries, the Writing Doctor is here. I have just the thing for you~ ♥︎ Recently I answered an ask similar to yours, but I feel that you will need a more personalized treatment.

I’ve just gotten off the phone with our local Motivationologist and she confirmed that, yes, you have a premature strain of ‘No Funsies.’ No Worries, it’s totally treatable. ‘No Funsies’ is a very common disease, it occurs on artists because of various reasons, though primarily because of: fear of judgement, and doubt of one’s talent.

You said you have ideas? Perfect! That will make it easier. First off, I want you to take a full dose of My (Strange) Guide to Planning Your Story. I want you to start a new project. You’re not allowed to second-guess yourself, or share it with anyone (for the time being). You will be writing something for yourself— not only that, though, you will be writing something fun. F-U-N. Again, follow the steps on the guide c;

Now, the general treatment for No Funsies is 1000 words a day, but I have a feeling that you may not be ready for that commitment. How about you go for 500 words a day? It’s a good middle ground. In the case of an emergency you’re allowed to skip one day a week, but no more than that.

‘No Funsies’ attacks the motivational gland in your brain. It mutates fun cells into work cells, and suddenly everything you do feels like… well, work. Of course, art should not feel like work, it should be fun! Starting a new fun project and focusing on the F-U-N is the name of the game. If you follow the 500 words/day treatment you will undo the effects of No Funsies.

Of course, No Funsies does not go down without a fight. The first few days may be hard. That’s why I have a few additional meds for you right here, take them if you feel at a loss:

• FUNSIEAWAY-B (If you feel overwhelmed with starting this new project. One application should be enough)
• MO-TIVANOL (If you wish to regain motivation on your project, but ONLY once you’ve followed the guide. Take as often as you need)
• STUCKKADE (If you find yourself stuck with first sentences. Apply  to the beginning of chapters as needed)
• 20MG OF MCMILLENITE (If you feel that your writing is not good enough. One application should do the trick)
• WRITER POSITIVITY (A free daily supplement if you feel unmotivated to write c;)
• REALITYCHECXIA (This a very potent motivational+inspirational drug. Take it only if you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom :c)

I want you to follow this treatment for two weeks, okay? I have setup the appointment, so let me know how it goes. Now take this blue sheet to the lady at the pharmacy~ ♥︎
