How to get back into a WIP when inspiration is lacking

1. Character exploration

You may be feeling uninspired because you find it difficult to enter your characters' minds.

A great way to dive into a character's point of view is writing a paragraph from their perspective on a topic like death, the meaning of life, loss etc.

I usually do this before I start a project, but it can be a great way to get back into the swing of things in the middle of a book.

2. Character songs/playlist

A lot of people write with music, curating playlists for their WIP.

I don't write with music, but it can be great to listen to a song or two before writing a specific scene or character's POV.

Curate a Playlist for your POV characters and listen to it when inspiration is running low.

3. Fake promotional material

This may just be a weird thing I do, but I love it.

When I really need a motivation boost, I create fake promotional material or swag designs for my WIP. Mock covers, bookmarks, posters, ads etc.

It reminds me what I'm working towards and that can help a lot.

4. Moodboards

Creating physical mood boards for your WIP or specific characters/locations and putting them up int your work space can do wonders for inspiration.

Every time you look at the moddboard, you're taken back to the moment when the idea first got into your head - a moment when you had oodles of inspiration.

You can also add to those mood boards whenever you need an extra shot of inspiration.

5. YouTube

Every time I watch an Authortube vlog, I feel motivated to work on my own writing.

Pick an Authortuber who resonates with you and has the life you hope to build. Watch one or two of their vlogs and that should light a fire under you.

Reblog if you found these tips useful. Comment with your own ideas. Follow me for similar content.

I made my own Banner Flag for the final project of my College art class. This would count as an Icon or Logo if commissioned.

I recently made this new pfp for myself. I think I quite like it. Probably gonna keep it one of these versions for the next while.

I do commissions for all kinds of art stuff. Icons like this or logos with colors and words are 20 USD as well as 10% in royalties if you were to use it for a brand or anywhere else.

I'll be posting more of my work eventually, so keep an eye out for those things.

Heart goes out to all those that feel like this. Problems are rampant these days, so this really resonates with me and the people I know.

Beautifully crafted words.

F O O L I S H

walls shatter my heart bleeds thought i was smarter that you were better than this

it all hurts my knees are weak tears staining my shirt sobs interrupt me while i speak

can’t pretend im alright almighty king broke my heart

hold my breath count to ten shut my eyes movie replaying on mi mind oh my foolish heart i crumble and stay hold my breath count to ten shut my eyes try to convince myself i’ll be ok oh my foolish heart

had it all now i have none mind, body and soul you conquered them all

never enough you wanted more i truly loved you but you chose the girl next door

can’t pretend im alright almighty king broke my heart

hold my breath count to ten shut my eyes movie replaying on mi mind oh my foolish heart i crumble and stay hold my breath count to ten shut my eyes try to convince myself i’ll be ok oh my foolish heart
