Writer's block. Two terrifying words. but how do you deal with it?
I've been needing to finish my fic Dumped for over a year now but I'm still stumped. I have the three remaining chapters roughly outlined but whenever I sit down to write, the flow of the story and the little quirky details that make the work so much fun for me aren't hitting quite right. I need ideas. Or inspiring words to trigger ideas.
I know how the work to end. I'm just struggling to breathe life into the lungs of the fic that otherwise have no personality.
I recently graduated with my BA in May 2019 and a lot of the motivation that was fueling my work on Dumped up until that point was my need to blow off steam and think about anything else aside from the stress of my degree. Then I landed a new full time job, left my old gig, and quit volunteering. That's when the desire to do nothing outside of my 9 to 5 kind of quashed everything. But, now I've had a few months of adjusting to life post-college and I am settled in to my new job. I've taken up my old hobbies like knitting and reading and started a new one (I am now the keeper of a much larger fish tank). I think I'm finally emotionally ready (emotionally recovered, more like it) to get back into writing for fun. And finish this damn fic, the thought of which has never left me.
So thoughts? Comments? Insightful words of wisdom?
