Why is he in your dreams?!?

Thank you so much!! I have noticed when I write late at night I don’t keep questioning myself as much and tend to be way looser in what I’m writing! I’m defiantly gonna start stopping in the middle of a sentence rather than at the end. That’s been a big problem of mine because when I go back the next day I think to myself ‘where was I going with this?’. Sometimes I tend to have the worst trouble with coming up with ideas. I stay with what I’m comfortable with when I actually need to venture out a bit. 

@foreverafan1 honestly, the best thing to do is write when you’re super tired. like, at 3am. your sleepy brain is much more forgiving than your awake brain is, so you’ll write more and will delete less. some of it may not make sense, but that’s for future you to deal with, and it’s better to edit something that doesn’t make sense rather than an empty one. also, try leaving off in the middle of a sentence. it’s easier to get back to it when you already have a place to start. if that doesn’t work, try going to a coffee shop or park or literally anywhere with a lot of people, and people watch. pick out somebody you think is interesting, and make up their backstory. they could be a spy trying to get intel, or they could be a private investigator following a hit. it’s so much fun, and it’s not stressful because you’re doing it for yourself and not for others. and leading off of that for my last point, write for yourself. sure, it’s cool to think about the people who will read your stuff, but if you’re not having fun with it, then it’s just gonna be a horrible process that you don’t want to do. go back to the beginning and ask yourself why you started writing in the first place, why you find joy in it, and other questions like that. find a place in time where you were writing for yourself, and bring it to the present. now, that last one won’t cure writer’s block, but it sure as hell will make it easier to get through. 
            
            and the most important thing: have someone to confide in. whether it’s another writer, a parent, a friend, or a bartender, find someone who you can talk to about what you’re writing and how you’re stuck. usually, getting the thoughts out of your head and into the open might help the cogs loosen up and start working again. 
            
            i hope that helps!!

What do you do when you get writers block? I’ve been having that lately and don’t know what to do, ugh.
