Anybody got any good tips to fight writer’s block?
Nothing beats running out of the house in your pj’s and slippers because all of your dogs escaped and went running around in the wilds of the Californian suburbs…..
Note to Self:
Don’t try to write while dizzy. You will get motion sick.
Sincerely,
The Dumbass Still Writing Right Now.
Me: So I don’t know what to tell ya, really. I’m so depressed and I don’t know why or how to fix it…
Therapist: Do you think it might have something to do with the stable emotional outlet that you just stopped doing for some reason?
Me:
Me: … By Jove, I think you’re onto something.
Me: Okay! I got a cool story idea and I can even squeeze a love story in there. Which character should it be with, A or B?
Me: … I like them both too much, I’ll decide while I’m outlining.
~Later~
Me: Okay so I’ve outlined like 20 chapters of this thing, I’ve made it a love triangle where both option have good potential for a healthy, loving relationship as well as some managable challenges to keep things interesting!… But I still haven’t picked which wins yet…
Me: Whelp, this is a slow burn story, I guess.
~A Whole Ass Day Later~
Me: I’ve completed the central conflict of the story and still haven’t resolved the love triangle…
Me: I guess that means there has to be a sequel now… fuck….
The “Florida Man” Game (Anime Edition)
So my sister and I have this little game that we play while we watch different shows: Take a character in the show and describe them like a Flordia Man headline.
Thought I’d share a few of our favorites and see if anyone else wants to play:
-Florida Man claims to be possessed by evil spirit after eating a severed finger. His cheek agrees.
-Florida Man claims to have “seen the Truth” after failing to resurrect mother, but where are his limbs? More at 11.
-Florida Man under investigation after eye-witness claims he fed his own hair to a minor. Red flag or misunderstanding?
Me:*yaaaawn* Whelp. I haven’t written anything in a hot minute because my beloved sister dragged me on an anime marathon… All of Jujustsu Kiasen in a night and then I finished the manga myself the day after… Yeesh, I’m beat…
Me: Better at least do my game maintenance today… *fires up Obey Me* ButI need a na-
Me: ……
Me: You motherfuckers are telling me there’s going to be an ANIME now?! I stopped paying attention for like two days! TWO DAYS!! WTF!?
Me:*downs a few Mountain Dew, writes non-stop for a whole day, and finally gets somewhere on a WIP*
Me: Oh hell yeah, guess who’s got their mojo back?? Me!!
Also Me: *spends a whole hour with my sister ranking what anime characters we could and couldn’t eat in a survival scenario if it came down to it*
Me: Okay that was a nice sidetrack but now to just get back to writing annnd-I used all my creative energy on that conversation and now I’m back to square one, aren’t I…?
Me: …. Shit.
