Sometimes You Gotta Just Write

By SNLangford

This is an extension of the writer's block chapter. And while yes, I am not a big believer in it, I still think all of us go through funks where it's just difficult for us to get words out.

I'm here with a little advice on how sometimes we just gotta fight it to keep in the flow.

I bring this up as I'm struggling with finishing my short story. I want to write but am unsure of how to go about writing the next moment in the story.

This I feel is something many of us struggle with. We want to write a specific scene, but it is hard to come up with how to write it out.

Here's my advice:

Just write, no matter how bad it seems. Write in weird sentences to fill in the word you currently can't think of.

Just get something down, no matter how bad it is. 

Once it's down, transition into your usual work you deem as your good quality and finish up your writing. If in the mood, go to the forced written part and read it over, you may be able to start fixing areas that now seem more clear to you.

It may take a little bit as taking a break from your own work and coming back with fresher eyes may help.

Just try this to see if it helps!

And hopefully, with it, you don't break your habit of writing daily/weekly/etc.
