My Writer's Block: A Journal

introduction

What's going onnnnn.

Hi, it's me. Whuz poppin?

If you follow my irrelavant book, 'Dear Stupid People', you'll know that I am struggling with writer's block. And it's not writer's block in the sense that you take a break for a few weeks and life's good again. It's in the sense that the last time I wrote something was over a literal year ago and everything I've tried to write just turned into a pile of shit.

This leads me to believe that if I were to be an author, I would be broke in a year. That's just sad.

So, a couple of days ago, I voiced these concerns on to the writer's club here, on Wattpad. Because everyone is so helpful (sounds sarcastic but I'm being htg), I got a good eighteen responses. Give or take of course. I'll list some of the common ones in case any of you guys need help too:

- Reading

- Wating for the right story to find you

- Coming back to your work in a few days/weeks

- Writing stories based off of songs

- Reading

- Reading

- Word vomit (Re: Mean Girls)

And tbh, I was pretty overwhelmed with the responses. It's obvious I can't try them in a week. My dumbass brain can't handle that much and it'll end up with me, like, combusting or some shit. So each week, I'm going to try something from this wonderful list and see if it works out.

WEEK ONE (this week): Reading

WEEK TWO: Some more reading (?)

WEEK THREE: Writing a story based off of a song

WEEK FOUR: Writing a short story and reading it at the end of the week

Expect an update every Sunday. Figures since that's the end of the week

Anyway, if anyone has any book suggestions or writer's block tips, feel free to comment. Intially, I was going to write the short story based off the song first and just read that at the end of the week. Kinda like a 2-n-1 but I decided against it, just so I could get some more writing in.

So, that's it. Take care, y'all and I'll see you guys on Sunday ♥
