🔮 Any advice for writers working through burnout or writer’s block? (its me, starryinspace and im writers)

SWEETHEART BABY DARLING.... but yes, I, in fact, do! ❤️

FIC WRITER BURNOUT/WRITER'S BLOCK ADVICE BY A TIRED ASS BITCH!

Ride out the burnout/exhaustion without guilt. Guilt makes it a lot, A LOT worse and honestly drags the inability to write. Sometimes you just need a break and that's okay! Just don't feel guilty about it! Give yourself a break and be kind to yourself. The more you beat yourself up going 'I should be writing' and 'I need to write more' and all that, the guilt won't help you feel better, you know? It's alright to just.... not do it for a while. Let yourself rest, sometimes all you need is time and that's okay!

Do other stuff that might reboot the brain? I go for a run listening to music to feed my maladaptive daydreaming but also doing dull stuff such as cleaning and house chores, or even some cooking which I love, kinda helps to like... it's boring enough that your brain comes up with stuff for a distraction.

Seek out inspo in places? Listen to enough music, watch something related to what you really wanna write (i.e. mafia fic? mafia movie/series, etc), kinda like.. if you're looking for specific inspo, try tapping directly into the source.

I also love getting inspo from others, bouncing ideas, finding someone to get excited about my ideas and getting excited about theirs helps me a LOT. Might be a me thing but just talking about it, even if I have no idea where an idea wants to go from where it is, sometimes just jumpstarts things again.

Starting something new! LISTEN, I KNOW, I KNOW. But sometimes nurturing a new idea, small or long, whatever it is, it can even be insane or bonkers or so so boring/normal (see: I usually do random prompts, sometimes they're fantastic, sometimes realistic, etc), it gets the juices flowing.

Honestly, in general.... I find out being anxious/angry/guilty about having a block just kinda makes it worse and then it lasts even longer??? So being kind to yourself and allowing your mind to rest is a good first step! But also some projects won't go ahead and that's alright, grant yourself some grace if you never go back to it or have no ideas for a long time.

SORRY THIS IS SUPER LONG BUT I LOVE YOU I HOPE THIS HELPS AT LEAST A LITTLE!!!!

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

remembering the time i drunkenly told a stranger i was a trans man and he started going off about alpha sigma and beta males and how each one was equally important no matter what anyone says and that i shouldn't feel pressured to be a strong alpha male because emotionally intelligent beta males were just as important

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
