Perfect!!
Full offense but your writing style is for you and nobody else. Use the words you want to use; play with language, experiment, use said, use adverbs, use “unrealistic” writing patterns, slap words you don’t even know are words on the page. Language is a sandbox and you, as the author, are at liberty to shape it however you wish. Build castles. Build a hovel. Build a mountain on a mountain or make a tiny cottage on a hill. Whatever it is you want to do. Write.
Cursed be the writer that posted a 'and everybody died in the most gruesome way possible' chapter on April's Fools.

Do alto do céu, Ele olha em teus olhos. Vê o que ninguém vê, O brilho esquecido, A dor que em silêncio não cede.
Sinto um peso no peito, O eco de uma ausência sem nome, Uma ferida sem cura, Alguém sem solução.
Eu cruzaria o mundo, Daria meu sangue, Seria teu pão. Já não posso ser menos Do que Deus pediu de mim.
Ser assim, Um tanto diferente, Um risco na maré, Um passo além da linha. E mesmo que me tentem calar, Sonharei mais alto. Terei algo a te dar.
Nem que tenha de dar Meu sangue, Minha carne, Minha última prece. Pois sei que tu podes mais. Sempre mais.
Mas me pergunto, Quem, do alto do céu, Fez do vento um anjo? Quem o moldou Para salvar minha dor?
Ele fala, mas não o ouço, Sussurra, mas temo entender. E se um dia se for, O que restará de mim?
Mesmo se o céu for azul, Se as nuvens dançarem livres, Algo em mim será cinza.
Mas um anjo me diz: "Há tanto a fazer, Tanto a dar, Para tornar alguém feliz."
E eu, Que já não durmo cedo, Que luto contra meus próprios fantasmas, Ainda rezo. Pois as palavras não têm fim, E se Deus não muda, Alguém mudará por mim.
Dar força a quem desiste, Dar fé a quem persiste, Desfazer a maldade, Firmar o perdão.
E mesmo que tudo se desfaça, Que tudo seja ilusão, Ainda há algo que resiste: A força do teu coração.
Já não tiro mais fotos, Já não busco respostas. Se tudo vem do nada, Que sou eu, então?
Peço mil dias de perdão, E ainda assim, Persiste em mim A força do meu coração.
Não há mais jeito... É o meu talento... Despeço-me de mim mesmo E entrego a quem quiser. Eu sou um. E por isso, Eu vivo.
A ti. A ti. A ti. A ti.
O amor floresce como uma flor de verão, Breve, intensa, Indomável.
Penso, falo, sigo, faço, Como o vento, sem pouso certo. Arrasto ilusões, Desfaço mentiras.
E se tudo me for tirado, Se o que desejo se apagar, Movo minha própria alma E sigo meu coração.
Não é fácil. Mas há de ser feito.
Penso, falo, sigo, faço, Como se nunca fosse chegar. Tento, canto, caio de cansaço. Onde está o céu?
Penso, falo, sigo, refaço, O amor há de resistir. Pois é da fé que vive em mim.
Dance like crazy to your book/fic playlist (while obsessively thinking about your characters and your plots)
Just live and breathe (it can do wonders)
Read the whole book/fic again (and the notes)
Talk to a friend about where you're stuck
Think outside the box. You do it when you stop trying to fit your book/fic into your first expectations of it (my first concept of this entry was about three ways to find new ideas, but as I wrote, more stuff came out! Embrace ~the new stuff~)
Pet an animal
Have a proper meal
Do something good that you used to do when you were a child
Read your fav books/fics again (or watch movies, series, you got the idea)
Accept the unknown. You'll always lack, you'll always struggle. When stuff gets really shitty, accept that sometimes you can only write a phrase. But try anyway. It's the small victories that win out, in the end.
My ideas always go like this:
Oah, cool, fine, that shows promise
Nah scratch that, something better came up
Wow another new idea, this one actually makes 1 and 2 make sense
mindblowing
omg I'm weeping, EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW
Over and over again, project after project
You just need to give it... time. No really, time and eat proper food
Best thing about music:
When I have no clue what to write next, I just throw on a carefully curated playlist, hit play, and dance so silly the gods cringe from the heavens.
The ideas come.
Every. Time.
(If they don’t, keep dancing. Sometimes it takes 15 hours or so)
Omg I'm here wanting to cry. Why? Because I'm hearing lo-fi & eating nutella. Somehow that's cry-inducing to me now.
And you can't even say that it must be 'that time of the month' cuz I'm not a woman, technically. What's wrong with me. WHY does lo-fi makes me want to cry. What do I even hear if not lo-fi to relax?? I tried 3daysgrace, for hours, then Bullet for my Valentine, then back to 3daysgrace, now I got no idea what to listen to. Also, I have to work, so I can't just go home and bury myself in a tower of blankets like I'm rebuilding Babel.
Never gonna hear lo-fi again.
(Make a bet on how long it takes for me to listen to it again.)
There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

The best movies I ever saw in theaters were Hobbit 1 and 2. I couldn't watch the final movie because... well... spoilers. I had already read the book and I hated the ending...
Best songs ever: I See Fire and Misty Mountains. I got so many chills when listening to them the first time. Priceless
IT'S LIKE A HUNDRED NINETY NINE DEGREES, WHEN YOU'RE DOING IT WITH ME, DOING IT WITH ME
Spent my whole Sunday fleshing out chapters 57+. Added chapter 70 today as well, after the idea for it just crossed my mind before bed yesterday.
I found I'm a really silly person. Also, shameless.
Chapters 57+ don't look polished yet, but I love them! It was so much fun...
Now I want to just immerse myself in the book I wrote and enjoy it, but I think I have to fix all the red marked phrases first. They have bad wording, or are too old (discarded ideas), or n other reasons... they are bad. And they need to go.
I feel lazy just thinking about it, but hey, no one will do it for me.
C'mon...
F can do it!!
