the vampire diaries fanfic writing tips

✧ tips for getting through writer's block

1. watch the show. nothing helps give you motivation more in my opinion. even just watch some clips.

2. watch some edits, read some fanfics, also very helpful. get active in the fandom some now.

3. this is a little general to all stories but i find writing the dialogue out helps. then i go back and add everything.

4. listen to some songs from the show. or that you associate with the show. it reminds me of the show in ways that i don't expect. makes me think about it.

5. think about some things you wished the show had done differently, what you'd want to see in the show, even if it's not directly related to your fanfic.

6. take a break.

sometimes it helps to just step away for a moment.

7. ask for help!

as i said you're always welcome to ask me if you need advice on anything. when i get stuck i sometimes ask my readers what they want to see or what ideas they have and it can be very helpful. even if i don't incorporate their ideas, it can just help me think!
