You Used To Wrap Yourself In Fairy Tales

Obviously she loves Peeta, but even if you remove both him and Gale entirely, it still is one!

Everything she does, she does out of love. Volunteering for Prim, staying strong for her and their mother when she says her goodbyes. Even before, braving the woods to keep her family fed. She loves her father deeply, and honours him with every shot of her bow, with every memory she has of him.

She loves Rue, and that's what moves people in the districts! That's how she gets to them. Because despite coming from the poorest district, going to the Hunger Games where only one person comes out, she shares her food with her, her sleeping bag. She comforts her when she dies and sings to her until her canon fires.

That's love!

The whole revolution only happens because Katniss is driven by love. That's the whole point.

Write crap.

No really. Buy yourself a notebook or open a doc and label it "Complete Shit." Spend at least five minutes a day forcing yourself to add to it. If you can't do it every day, try doing it three times a week. If you can't do it three times a week, try to schedule it at least once a week. But you gotta make yourself try at least once a week to write something.

This writing doesn't matter. You don't have to fix typos or fiddle with punctuation. You are just going to sit down, write literally anything for five minutes, and go about your day. Try some writing prompts. Describe your mediocre breakfast. Talk about your cat. Write a songfic. You can and will get through this, but you've got to not give up.

Everyone goes through this, and the only way through it is to weather it out. However, if you don't make yourself sit down and write as often as you can, this funk can sink in and keep you from writing for ages.
