#2 WRITER'S BLOCK 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzraBEjMqDV
You know, the worst thing that can happen to me, other than being surrounded by people who give away spoilers faster than you can say "babadook", is *drum roll please* writer's block.
Why?
Cause I like to talk crap at times.
And to talk crap, at least online, where there aren't a class full of people ready to judge you for breathing air, you need to write.
And I can't write if I have this huge effing wall in front of me with a signboard that says- "Sorry pal, no writing for a while."
And in plain terms, it sucks. I wish life were Sims 4 and I could just read a book or play guitar to get over this block. But no, sadly it's not.
So I do the only thing I'm really good at. I google. (I'm also like an almost stalker, kind of like a pro. So if you want me to cyber stalk someone, find out details- I'm your buddy)
Moving on, I google. So I googled writer's block and I came across this really good article at a website whose name I forgot, and didn't bookmark cause I'm careless. And also very lazy to check my history.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRECqtoivg
So this website said something like writer's block can be of two types.
1) Resistance
Where you resist the idea of writing. You think you can't do it. You feel it in your bones that you can't. You feel like everything you write is crap. BUTT. I mean, but it's all in your mind.
2) Emptiness
You're just empty. There's no spiritual or emotional energy in you that time. You don't feel like there's a story to tell. You just don't feel the words you type or write. You feel like a zombie pretending to have feelings.
And right now, I'm both.
So what do you do about it?
Well...
i) You could wait it out.
My take: Don't. You wait, and wait. And for a second you shut your eyes, and when you open them, two years have gone by. #truestory
ii) Watch movies.
My take: Unless you want your story to be highly similar to the movie you just watched, you probably shouldn't. Cause like right after Hunger Games, I kind of wanted to create my own dystopia about kids stranded in an island and had to each other up to survive.
The end result: I didn't write it (the block was still there) but in my mind the lead gives birth to a kid who eats her.
iii) Read books.
My take: Actually, not a bad idea. Because like when I read when I'm in the block I tend to see the way a writer writes. The style, the words they use. How the writer's describe the characters talking.
But then again, I forget once I'm done with the book.
iv) Play an instrument.
My take: Not to boast or anything (maybe just a teeny weeny bit) I play the guitar and the keyboard. And it is said that the writing abilities and the creative abilities are very connected. And they're taken from the left side of the brain.
So, when I'm in the block I try playing the guitar, but just end up holding it and checking my phone or staring at the blank walls and think of what can I do with that empty space.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtkqVTL6Gp
*kind of like this one, but minus pressing the frets or the strings. and i'm not a redhead.*995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD64BQyekz
And the last, but the least... *drum roll again*995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIlxvXvNX2
v) Write995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU0vLyv1IG
My take: Write. Write Write.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcCfqZFv8
You could: 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYgeGGnr5C
a) free write- just keep on writing/typing, even if it doesn't make sense, even if you make errors. you just write and don't look back. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpMKju7zG2
kind of like running but not stopping to tie your shoelaces or going back to pick up the phone you dropped.)995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxIiS6YMZD
b) just write- this one is what we are all used to. just push yourself and write something anything. ANYTHING at all. like:995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJEPWKJYv5
hi. i'm a puppy. but i'm a kitten too. and it just confuses me whether I should be a human or a zebra. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcgg7IY7ZF
It is not supposed to make sense. It's a way to get yourself out there. It's a way to make them fingers dance! 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDpWYAyOnx
So those were the ways to fix the block. And they're effective when I use them.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnklsCr7mga
Also, there are certain applications I use to make me more concentrated on writing, but so far- I'm still immune. But maybe you're not. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOCWh9Pwvz
The apps are... 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o3a3pbEUo
Never mind, I'll post that later cause I'm lazy and don't remember the names. But there are quite a few. And no, they're not boring MS Word. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNRyudYWoN
That being said, I'm still suffering from writer's block. I'm a bit lazy to take my own advice. But it works. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvJJDXmjY3
So, you could try them if you're need. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIAzbb2Sgy
Or you could ignore. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06kY6bbhVn
I ignore me too. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBp6gmPYAl
Sometimes. Most of the times. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qYnNAcz5F
At times.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv9CMWMlNQ
Anyway, thank you for bearing with me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqlSmlc5B0
I'm like a teen girl gone crazy. Nothing new. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg17QUbT7y
