After I self published my first book and it did shockingly well and it turned out I could improve my life significantly if I keep self publishing, I've been having issues writing more books.
I know I just have to do it, but I doubt myself since self publishing the first one was more of a joke than a serious financial move.
It did really well and now I'm stumped. I used to find writing fun but now I feel like I have to take it very seriously, which makes me less excited write, so I write less and I think I write worse and so on.
Is there any good remedies for this, I've been this way for a year. I feel like the first book was just a happy accident.

Too high but the point is, blocks are natural, and you can't force creativity.

I've been sketching background for my book since at least 2015. started writing in 2017, paused till 2018 then resumed, and now I'm back at stall.

I guess you're right. Maybe I should just accept I'm not in the mood to write and focus on other aspects of my life.

Why is The Potion Seller such a captivating tale?
