do you want to write but just can’t seem to get into it?
Hello everyone! In this post I want to share some helpful excercises and things you can do when it’s hard to get into the mindset of writing.
Write fanfiction of your own characters. Take the tropiest trope - sharing one bed, hAnD hOlDiNg, idk whatever - and write about it with two characters in your story. It doesn’t have to be good. It just has to make you feel good. It doesn’t have to make sense within the story, this is not meant to move your plot forward, this is not meant to be a part of your book, it’s just made to put you in the right mindset, to make you excited for writing.
Find incorrect quotes that fit your characters. This might also help you get a better understanding of what types of characters they are. You might even get somewhere within the story with these.
This might be similar to the first one but, write fanfiction of your own story. I mean, take a concept, Doctor Who, for example, and write how it would be if your characters were the characters in Doctor Who! Again, it doesn’t have to be good, it doesn’t have to be useful in the story, it just has to get your creative juices going!
Reread stuff you’ve written that you really like. It might be stuff that is on the book you’re writing - maybe a fluffy scene between two lovers, maybe a fucking great fighting scene, maybe the death of your favorite character. If you haven’t writen anything for that book yet, or you don’t have a passage that moves you (YET), read something else you’ve written! Maybe a short story. It doesn’t need to be anything related to what you’re currently writing, it just has to be something that proves how fucking much you love writing!
Go back to what inspired to first, work the idea, think about what you wanted to write in the beginning and work with that.
Thinka bout a certain character’s background! That can be super helpful for whenever you need reasoning for that character’s actions! You don’t even need to put it in the story just like you’ve written it, but it will be super helpful for the characterization! And if you already have this background thought out, write a scene that happens then! Think about how the character was before the starting point.
These are mainly focused on writing fiction, because it’s mainly what I write. Feel free to add more things that help you!

Last week, I learned that the English language has more euphemisms for death than any other language. I learned that the ancient Greeks had no word for the colour blue and that the Hawain alphabet has only twelve letters. I spent last week hollowing out a little place in my heart and filling it with worry. What does that say about us? Do we really go out of our way to avoid death like that? How did the Greeks describe the sea? Are twelve letters really enough? Does every language have a word for love? Every language should have a word for love. And compassion. And gentleness. And figs and snow and that soft sensitive part on the inside of one’s arm. We should have words for everything so that we don’t feel alone. We need very very very specific words for all of the different kinds of sad and even more specific words for the kinds of happy. What if we were able to talk about everything? I want to tell you how I feel and I want to be precise. Sometimes ‘good’ just isn’t enough and few understand what I mean when I say that I feel ’like lightning.’
