I'm not working on anything at the moment but I'm trying to find my way towards writing again. I miss it like crazy and I've been journaling by hand the last few years to at least have a way to make words but it doesn't feel the same as writing imaginatively. I joined DW because I was hoping that the writing and prompt communities would help inspire me (and they did get me back into reading fanfiction, which has been nice). Unfortunately, someone I used to really care about would regularly guilt trip me about my writing - whether it was guilt over what I was writing or why I was writing (they insisted I should only write for money) or how I spent time writing instead of being with them sometimes. Now every time I try to write, I feel gripped by this annoying guilt I can't seem to shake, as if I'm a bad person for wanting to do something that makes me happy instead of pleasing someone else or trying to get something out of it other than fun. I've cut this person out of my life and feel better generally for it but I haven't mastered having fun without feeling guilty yet and I feel like it's really blocking me creatively. :\

Most of what I watch is horror gaming and I've been enjoying play throughs of Silent Hill f, Little Nightmares 3, Resident Evil: Village, and Until Dawn (an oldie but a goodie).

That experience sounds like a nightmare. I hate that you (or anyone tbh) went through that. Good luck with reclaiming your creative spark!
