Hello, fren! 💕 I was wondering if you have any tips for getting inspired/powering through to write again/more/still when all the words are gone. 😭🙃
I think we all know this feeling well (I do at least lol). I’ll try my best, but also your experiences are your own and you need to listen to your own body mind and soul before deciding what to do.
So many people try to push themselves into writing during the wrong times, for the wrong subject, whatever else. But it’s important to remember that this is legit just fanfiction. It SHOULD be fun!! Write what you enjoy and when you enjoy to do it. Your health and sanity matters more.
This is kind of an ADD/ADHD tip here. Not saying it works for everyone, but maybe it will to you. Just set a timer for a reasonable amount of time. (Let’s say... 2minutes. Hell you could even just do it in the amount of time it takes to poop idk. Your life your choice.) don’t worry about quality of content, typos, accuracy. Just spent those 2-3 minutes writing something.
Sometimes once you knock the initial block out of the way, then it becomes less daunting of a task. Then you might continue. If not then hey! You still have more written than before! Go you!!
This may sound dumb. But take some time to read. Get lost in a story or your own head. It could spark something you hadn’t thought about before.
If you typically type, changing the technique might unblock stuff as well. Maybe even write outside!! Change of scenery, change of brain.
There are lots of other tips, of course. And like I said- you need to listen to whatever you think might work for you.
I’m going to tag a few people for any wisdom they may also want to share (it’s not required though. Life’s stressful enough 💖💖).
