It's not you, it's me...૮(˶ㅠ︿ㅠ)ა | Lack of Emotional Connection to Your Story
I think this a point that all writers and authors reach at least one time in their writing careers. You started this wonderful idea but what was once shiny and new is now dull and rusting. It really does happen to all of us. I am that convinced. So, Marie Kondo this shit and ask yourself, "Does writing this still bring me joy?"
If starting with this question doesn't help much, here are four follow up asks to get to the heart of what's blocking you from writing your magnum opus. ✎ᝰ.
Why did I start this? ( •̀ - • )
What made this story exciting in the first place? Was it a specific scene playing in your head? A character you created and wanted to share with the world? Revisit why you started this project to bring back the initial motivation of writing your story in order to write the rest of it.
2. Where did it go stale? (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅ )
Go through what you've written so far to find that "sagging middle". Wherever that is, my advice is just to scrap it. Don't worry too much about deleting all your hard work. It's obviously not helping you out here. Start over with that exciting portion of why you started your story at the forefront of your mind. Chances are that's all you'll need to do to get the pen flowing again.
3. Could I come back to it? (╭ರ_•́)
Taking a break from a project is fine as long as you have the mind to come back to it. Coming back with fresh eyes does wonders to quieting your self- criticism and re-focusing on your story again, but I don't recommend taking off more than a week. It's like school or the gym, once you stop going, it's hard to come back.
4. Is there anything salvageable? (。•́︿•̀。)
If the first three questions didn't work, it's time to hit the panic button. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE IF YOU HIT THE PANIC BUTTON. Okay, you are a failure, but it's okay. We all fail at something. I've personally failed, and have published failures, multiple times within my writing career. The best thing you can do is pick up the pieces and move on. Find your favorite parts of your story and store them away or immediately try to re-home them into other projects. Completely starting over is good too. But if that's not possible, keep your ideas. You're ideas are still good, don't abandon them.
Hope this helps! Happy writing! ✌︎︎♡⃛

03.04.2026 "The wizard is easily my most annoying suitor."
Video up! I really liked writing from this prompt! It goes with the theme of the book I'm working on, so, it was nice to see a little bit of my book reveal itself today. I am still having quite a bit of trouble settling on my character's personalities, but I still had a lot of fun writing this one.
"Er, well," Tesoro smiled taut, wringing her hands. "He is quite overzealous but-"
"Find me another suitor. The best one. Why has that been so difficult? Is that not the service you advertise?"
"Yes, however-"
Mr. Portia rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue in disgust as she rose from her seat.
"This is ridiculous. Fawna!"
"Yes, my lady."
"Oh, wait. Please-"
"Fetch the carriage. And, you." Ms. Portia rounded on Tesoro. "I'd like a full refund before I leave."
"Please, just give me another moment-"
"Hurry up! I haven't another moment." Ms. Portia spoke in a mocking tone, causing Tesoro to close her eyes for a moment.
Tesoro pressed her lips together and opening her eyes to send a look over to Ezra, eyes pleading. Ezra remained unmoved. Tesoro went back to Ms. Portia to continue her vain efforts at placating the heiress.
"Why haven't you gone? I want my money!"
"I will get it, but, please-"
"Sit down, Ms. Portia."
Both women froze mid- sentence. Tesoro shivered hard from the warmth radiating into her back paired with the direct contrast of the cool clipped words spoken over her shoulder.
Swallowing hard, Tesoro followed Ms. Portia's suit in quickly seating herself in the opposite love seat.
The room went quiet for a moment. Tesoro chanced a peek to where Ezra stood only for her face to resemble a flash fire in response to Ezra's quizzical brow. "Ah, right!" Tesoro cleared her throat whilst tucking her springy curls behind her ears. "Ms. Portia, the wizard has asked me to send his apologies for his...explosive energy." Tesoro reached in her apron pocket to hand over a thick rosy colored envelope. "He also left this for you."
Ms. Portia rolled her eyes and sighed as she opened the letter. Tesoro's eyes rounded as Ms. Portia pulled out wads of cash. The heiress stuffed the envelope into her bosom with a bored expression.
"Alright. I accept."

Hey there!
If you liked this post, I’d love for you to join in.
Went with a "no talking/ straight to the point" approach with this video. Today's prompt came from urfriendlywriter on Tumblr from the "Conflict Dialogue Prompts" list under the "Enemies to Lovers" link on their master post. I think I might actually use this scene in my book. It needs much more shaping, but it wasn't bad for this warm-up.
Also, purely curious, how do you show anger? I'm the type to get real quiet or start shooting verbal barbs. (˵¬⤙¬˵")
"You used me," it came out quiet, barely above a whisper.
"You don't understand..." Ezra slowly moved behind the counter.
"You used me." It came out stronger then. Tesoro's body beginning to tremble, her fists closing, a heat creeping throughout her body.
"N-no! I- That's not it." Ezra lightly shook her head, body beginning to press against the wall.
Tesoro took measured steps until she was on the opposite side of the counter. "Ezra, you used me."
"I- I didn't steal," Ezra's voice wheezed as she spoke.
"It's not about the money, Ezra. Although, yes, that is another thing, but lying to me? Making me think that we were a team. Ezra, you made me feel things." Tesoro clutched a handful of flesh and fabric just above her left breast.
"I- I didn't-"
"Yes!" Tesoro slapped a hand on the counter top. Ezra yelped and pressed harder into the wall. "Yes, you did, Ezra. You knew exactly what you were doing." Tesoro made a move toward one side of the counter and Ezra bolted out the kitchen door.
Tesoro banged a fist back into the counter, but did not follow. Instead, Tesoro laid a cool gaze on the little bandit scurrying about the compound gathering her things. The taller woman calmly walked toward the front gate after a few moments, Ezra barely squeezing through before Tesoro grabbed the door.
"I- Tessy. I-"
Tesoro slammed the door hard enough for the heavy golden hoops to clang against the pine.
Ezra refused to let her tears fall.
But, she did flinch.

02.27.2026 "Do you think they would be proud of me, if they saw what I've become?"
Video up! Possibly getting better at it, but I really don't think I ever want these to get too polished tbh. Idk. I'm *quirky*....Right. Felt better about this one. Felt truer to my characters, but still missing something. We're getting there though people!!
Prompt of the day comes from Speechprompts on Tumblr.
It was a question neither were expecting judging by the look on Ezra's face.
"Er, well, I mean..."
Tesoro merely continued to place the fruits into the light wicker basket. It seemed she waited a touch too long to respond since Ezra stormed off into the storage shed.
Knowing the little bandit's nasty habit of running off and hiding out somewhere for a few days, Tesoro meandered over with the large, heavy basket blocking the entrance of the storge shed.
Tesoro ignored the water and red rims of averting dark almond eyes. "Hey, can you carry this?"
Ezra wordlessly retrieved the basket. They stood there staring at each other. Ezra's gaze went from questioning, to suspicious, to exasperated.
"Are you gonna tell me where to put this or...?"
Tesoro smiled and outstretched her arms. "No, it's alright. I'll take it. I only wanted to prove a point."
Ezra echoed, speaking to Tesoro's back. "What point?"
"You asked me if they would be proud. I answered your question."
Ezra scoffed and blustered out the storage shed, "I don't have time for this."
Tesoro shrugged before settling down and beginning to sort through the day's pickings.
Ezra returned by nightfall.
"Okay, I give. What was the point?"
Tesoro smiled and motioned for the bandit to sit at the table.
"Supper, first."

Hey there!
If you liked this post, I’d love for you to join in.
Hey! I just wanted to say your advice posts are amazing, they make writer’s block feel way less scary. Do you have a favorite warm-up or exercise that always gets your creativity flowing?"
Glad you enjoyed them ♥️
To answer your question, I typically try to do two things. Writing everyday and using prompts.
My warm-up is simply journaling about my day and thoughts. Just to get into the action of writing. Even if I don’t do creative writing that day, it just makes it the whole process less daunting when I do start to write for a project.
For exercises, I really like prompts and setting a timer. The prompts list that I always go back to is the 100 Prompts lists by Katherine Roid. (In fact I’m using it right now to get out of a creative rut.)
But, yeah, I set up like a 20 minute timer and just mass produce as many chapter blurbs as I can. I prefer to do chapter blurbs because I can get a sense of what I want to happen in the story, keep plot points relatively in order, keep some flexibility in the story for any changes that might come up in future writing, and I can see rather quickly if the story is going to be any good or not.
I'm quickly finding out how unsuitable I am for social media platforms. I'm a lurker. And, most of the time I don't know what the heck is going on anyway.
But, marketing isn't done in a vacuum...
Anyone have advice on how to market your work without relying too much on SM?
I know it may not be completely possible, but figured I'd ask, ya know?
