17. What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)

i just kind of stare at my document and then go and listen to music and imagine animatics (very good to get the juices going... just think about all the Big Scenes you want to write that you can be getting to soon). and maybe suffer a little. im actually struggling a bit on this next one even though i know what i WANT to happen WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE RAPH CHAPTERS THAT FIGHT ME??? LIKE I LOVE HIM HE'S MY SECOND FAVORITE???? he was actually the easiest to write in the switching povs in coming undone i sWEAARR TO GOD WHY NOWWWW. im like 2k words into it and im in a bit of a slump but its fiiine

71. When it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?

already answered this one here! :]

hi just found ur story and i LOVE it so i really hope this doesn't come across rude but there's this one scene that kinda makes me feel uncomfy and i was wondering if u could like... change it? or maybe just explain what u ment by it because it feels OOC compared to the rest of the story: in ch16 leo feels a little icky??? thanks, again love the story alot

I kinda wish you had DM'd me this because I feel a little weird responding with a public post, but it's okay considering you probably wanted to say this anonymously just in case (which i understand completely don't worry!!) Well, first of all: Hi! Thank you for loving my casual story so far, I'm glad to hear you liked it enough to read all the way up to CH 16 in the first place ^_^ That being said, I'm honestly a little unsure how to respond to your request to change part of a chapter, especially because i'm not 100% on which part with Leo actually gave you the 'icky' feeling in the first place... His character has always been the hardest to write for me, so I'm not surprised that I might have gone wrong somewhere. I went ahead and re-read that chapter, and I think maybe the part that you're talking about is either the part where he sneaks into/originally plans on following the Reader, or the part where he leans in close to 'threaten' them into not talking with Raph anymore? But, if you had an issue with Leo sneaking in, you probably hated Donnie breaking in, so... maybe that's not right T__T If you mean the part where Leo leans in close to the Reader's face, maybe it would help if I clarified that it wasn't meant to be taken in any serious manner? He's really just trying to figure out whether or not the Reader is trustworthy and doesn't have any hidden biases against them being mutants, or easy to taunt out of hanging out with Raph.

The whole thing was meant in a "don't hurt my brother" way Since I'm not sure exactly what part you're talking about, I can't really agree to "change" anything... and honestly, I don't think I would change the scene unless I actually agreed that the change was necessary. I'm sorry to hear he gave you an 'icky' feeling :( He's a harmless gremlin of a turtle-man in my story, I promise you.
