Writing Tips for Writer’s Block - Making Your Writing Palace

So here is a collection of some pointers that I use when I get stuck while writing (which as some of you know happens literly all the time)— I hope it helps anyone else who is struggling! These work for me but they might not work for everyone! I urge you to try them out!

Make Your Writing Palace

settle your mind and create a space for your thoughts and ideas to flow

Make sure you are comfortable in your surroundings wherever that might be. I personally prefer to be tucked into my comfy armchair with a blanket!

Take a shower!! Might sound weird but if I feel dirty or oily or gross I can’t not write!!! Go take a shower, get clean!!

Get a snack and/or drink. Fuel for your brain!!! My favorite writing snack is tea with cookies, scones, biscotti, or any other pasty type of thing.

Write when you are alone! I can tell you that you will not accomplish much if your surrounded with family or friends. Distractions are your enemy!!!!!

Pick a time to write! I prefer writing early early morning or at late night (probably bc those are the time my world and family are silent and still sleeping).

If you are stuck on a specific scene try to imagine yourself there and as your character. Or even go to that place irl—idk if y’all got forests near you but if that’s where your scene takes place march your ass down there, find a nice tree to climb, and write. (Just don’t get wacked, I would be very sad to hear that my tip got you murdered lol)

Get background noise! I personally find songs with lyrics to be too distracting when I try to write. I use an app: Relax Meditation (it’s free). You can pick whatever sounds you want and lump them together and into like a song/mix. I usually play the sounds I need to try and immerse myself into the enviroment of my character. It really helps!!

Don’t keep stopping to change words or think “I’m being to repetitive in my language” —just keep going and fix it later. At the end of ur writing session go back and google some synonyms!!!

Put down some bullet points of what you wanna write—give yourself a mini outline to work with.

Do not write something that you don’t wanna write!!! (Unless it’s for school then you kinda gotta) if someone requested a mushy love scene between two characters that you just loath DONT DO IT!!! It will probably be shit bc your heart is just not in it.

Try changing up what your writing! If you are stuck on your fanfic/book/essay/whatever and just can’t look at it any longer, try writing a one shot or drabble of something completely different.

Take a break and pet a furrybaby (or a slimy one idk what kind of wacko pets y’all have)!!

I hope this helped for some of you guys! I love you all so much and don’t ever give up on writing!!

KEEP GOING, KEEP IMPROVING, YOU GOT THIS!

tbh seeing jenna marbles living her best life at 33 is really comforting when you’re in your 20s and completely lost

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.
