how do you work through your moments of being stunted mentally from writing? what do you use to organize yourself?

Oh goodness anon this is a hard question to answer for me because I’ve been going through it for a while until this week and that was because I knowingly let myself get distracted by my edit work so the first thing I’d say is:

Stop all known distractions. I had to make myself not open PS so I could write and I posted about it so I (and my followers lol) could hold me accountable if I posted any gifs up before the fics I was working on got done and posted first. It worked.

Read (Whether it be your own work, old or the wip, or just an old fic you like) for me I notice sometimes when I stop to read something else, especially if I’m stressing about being stuck, it sometimes helps to just get my mind off of it.

Music. If it doesn’t take you out of what you’re working on sometimes a song can inspire your muse to open up. I have lists I keep for mine and sometimes I just go random whatever on my spotify but that’s only if it seems to help inspire something. Sometimes I need the silence. Which leads to my last point.

If you can and it’s safe to, go sit outside. It helps me sometimes with ideas and stuck spots. I got the last bit of my earlier fic I posted today while sitting on my porch.
