hello! i recently discovered your page and I absolutely adore the way you write!!! It has a lot of dedication and its so perfect and I get rlly excited when i read and there is a lot of detail aaaah so cool! :D haha btw, sorry to bother you with this but im an amateur in the writing community and dunno exactly how to start, any tips for when you're feeling uninspired? and how to change that? hope you have a nice day or night or afternoon!!! (i don’t speak fluent english, srry if i didn’t make myself clear D:)
hihihi!! first off, thank you so much for your kind words. they mean the world to me! secondly, your english is so good! i understood perfectly :)
to answer your question, i usually give myself time to think. i usually start by listening to music and see if anything that comes up inspires me. and if not, i give myself a couple of days to breathe and do others things that need my attention. sometimes, all you need is time to yourself. i personally looovveeee to take long showers so that’s the place i go whenever i need to destress from thinking too much about my writers block. i also allow some time for myself before going to bed or just throughout the day just so i can relax. writing can be really taxing and it’s nice to give yourself a much needed and deserved break.
i also reward myself with naps all the time lol. it’s another thing that helps me refocus.
but the main things i do to try to get inspired is listen to music and see where my imagination takes me or see where the lyrics take me. certain songs can invoke certain feelings which could lead to certain ideas. it may not be the thing for everybody but i would recommend trying it out if you’re up for it.
tiktok also helps me sometimes lol. my fyp is full of avatar edits and sometimes, they’re just so good that i get inspired to write a prompt or it encourages me to continue writing one of my wip’s. it’s kinda hard to explain but it just works for me, it’s so weird.
you also have to be sure that whatever you’re writing is something that you want to write. there have been many times were i think of a plot and begin to write it but then completely scrap it later because my heart was no longer into it anymore. and that’s completely okay to do! writing is a process and if that includes almost finishing a whole fic and then deciding that it is no longer something that you want to finish or like anymore, then that’s totally fine. everyone has their own writing styles and how they go about writing, so don’t feel ashamed for doing whatever you need to do in order to write.
i hope that helps you a bit! thank you for seeking my advice, i truly feel honored 🥹 also, please let me know when you start to write. i would love to see your works! 💋💞
