THE HORROR THAT IS WRITER'S BLOCK

[emiri-chou]

I have it, it's squishing my creativity
been writing this story thing for like, 3 years (thirty or so in fic universe, I just kept spamming timeskips) so I've kind of run out of things to do, I should probably stop, but it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fun
any help?

That's amazing, 3 years?! Whenever the mood strikes me, I can
write for about 5 minutes and then get bored.

To be rid of writer's block, I'd suggest just relaxing a little.
If you have any ideas for your story, write them down and then go
listen to music or watch some TV, not mindless television though.
Not educational television though, either. No one wants to watch that.

Take a nap, eat some comfort food-- Feeling hot, drink something.


That's what I used to do.
Good luck on your writings.

Thanks, I'm surprised it's gone on this long too. It's also less amazing when you consider half of it is plotless mess that just happens to pop into my head ("ooh! lets have them fight a dragon!", "they should go to a Café and eat macaroons!" and the like) a lot of it is just 5 minute things that just somehow come together...with 18-and-a-half years worth of timeskip when I completely lose it.
Educational TV, boring unless it's History, in my opinion anyway, That's great advice! A lot of my inspiration comes from movies (I "borrow" some plot elements) or Video games, usually the European fantasy genre, seeing as what I'm writing is European fantasy.
Thanks for the advice and stuff biggrin

I think you should wait until the material comes naturally to you. Don't put in random fillers because people will catch on that you're out of ideas and lose interest.

Also please for the love of all that is holy, if you are anything like me, DO NOT WORK ON YOUR STORY WHEN YOU ARE HALF-ASLEEP. gonk I have a tendency to work on my stories even if I become borderline brain-dead and the resulting stories are atrocious.
