General…
so, i think i just helped my own art block a little, and i may be able to help yours too
do you ever have that feeling like.. “ugh, i wanna do something with my OCs… but i don’t know what!!” well, here’s some ideas i have!
my first idea: write down how they would finish certain sentences. maybe common sayings.
Like, for example, how would they finish “When life gives you lemons..”? — Most people might say “make lemonade”, but would your OC say something different?
next idea: how would they react or respond to certain things?
For example, how would they reply to being told “I have good and bad news.. which do you wanna hear first?”
my last idea: make a “this or that” list and write what your OC would pick.
maybe make the list on paper, and then have a color code on the side, then circle/square/underline or show or whatever which your oc would pick
if you make something from these ideas, reblog and show!!! i wanna see ‘em!

this is a draft from july 11th
i didn’t change anything i wrote, but some of it could be rewritten.
it’s also moreso auggie and benjamin. i haven’t actually gotten to cage and auggie yet
___
General…
cage is becoming a main character….
sadly, cage and auggie seem to have more chemistry than reed and auggie do. this is sad because i root for auggreed. auggreed was so fluffy and cute. i loved them. i mean i love them
and then benjamin came in again.
yippie!! story time :)
___
one day at lunch, benjamin tried his hardest to push auggie’s buttons, and he eventually succeeded. benjamin tried super hard to be an asshole to auggie, but auggie wouldn’t let him. (benjamin was trying to get auggie to fight him, but in doing so, he was making himself look like an idiot.) auggie kept telling him to go away and he walked away, but benjamin followed him and kept telling auggie to fight him. — auggie kept telling benjamin “i’m not gonna fight you. unless i really, truly, have to, i’m not gonna fight you. and if i do, i’m not punching back.” — benjamin kept pushing it, kept pushing it, and just kept on pushing it. he kept telling him “just fucking fight me already.” — eventually auggie said “if you really wanted to fight me, you would have tried by now.” and then benjamin punched his arm. not very hard, but he punched him. auggie shook his head at him with disappointment (it was funny) and benjamin punched him again.
after benjamin’s many, many attempts at punching auggie, and his repeated “fight me back”s, auggie finally told him “fine, i’ll fight you. but here up is a no-go.” he motioned from above his shoulder up to his head with his hand. benjamin nodded and kept on swinging at him. — vee came over to the two (finally) and yelled at benjamin to fuck off, but auggie told her “i can handle it, vee.” vee nodded hesitantly, but stood back and watched. she trusted that he had it under control. everyone who was watching was on the top of their toes. — auggie let benjamin keep swinging. he didn’t punch back yet. he waited long enough for him to think that he really wasn’t gonna do anything, that he wasn’t gonna punch him back. then, when benjamin threw another punch at his arm, auggie dodged again (as he had been), grabbed benjamin’s wrist, used his arm and swung himself around to where they were back to back now, then elbowed him with his other arm, still holding his wrist. then he swung back around to face him and stomped on his foot. (he did say that he wasn’t going to punch back. ^^) benjamin finally stopped trying to fight him after that.
auggie grabbed benjamin by the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer, looking him dead in the eyes with no hesitation and no blinking. (benjamin was totally taken aback. everyone was.) auggie gave him the most dirty look he could give, (his rbf/normally serious face became more intimidating), and talked to benjamin extremely sternly, “you got your fucking fight. now what’s your goddamn problem?! why do you keep tryna fight me? there’s no goddamn point. i haven’t done shit to you.” benjamin was wide-eyed and auggie sounded waayyy pissed off. more pissed off than he actually was inside. he asked, “do you hate me or something?? i don’t even fucking know you, benjamin, and you don’t know me. i seriously don’t get how you could even hate me. what could i have possibly done to you to make you want to get on my goddamn nerves so bad?? and, guess what? you kinda did. you kinda got on my nerves, benjamin.” benjamin was trying to think of words to say. auggie pulled him closer again, this time with more irritation, and asked “are you happy? satisfied? what the fuck do you want from me?!”
benjamin stumbled on his words for a few seconds, but then finally got some out. “yah, ya know, i do fucking hate you. i do hate you. and you’re right, auggie. i don’t know you. you don’t know me. but i don’t have to know you to hate you. and you know what i hate about you? i hate how much people fucking adore you. i hate how great you are. everybody loves you. they probably even praise you for fuck’s sake. you’re that cool guy. that guy who everyone is probably jealous of. the guy who can keep his shit together. the guy who even fucking.. stands up to people. you can just. get someone to fuck off. you got me and wil to stop fighting that one time. all you said was ‘shut up’. that was all you had to say, and we both backed off. not everyone can fucking do that. you’re just.. you’re just so goddamn amazing to everyone. you’re.. you’re great at volleyball. and a great coach for it too. coach hart even told you you could be a volleyball coach if you wanted. you turned it down. and you’re a good runner. you could be on the cross country team if you wanted. you turned that down too. you’re.. kept to yourself. you don’t care what other people think about you. you’ve got great advice. dude, you tried to give me advice. me. i’ve been nothing but an asshole to you, and yet you want to help me. i mean, i’ve tried to be an asshole, but you don’t even.. like, let me. you don’t let me get on your nerves. and you told me how i could make friends. you’ve been telling me that i look like a fool. and fuck, i do look like a damn fool. but i just. i just want you to.. to have something. something! one goddamn thing that’s bad about you. i want you to be shitty. i want you to be a dick. i want you to.. to be..” auggie let go of his shirt a little bit and his face was less irritated now. benjamin wasn’t talking loud anymore. “i want you to not be 100% great like you are. i want you to have some bad thing. i want to prove that you aren’t 100% amazing. because you can’t be. you just can’t. nobody can be that great. but.. but you’re like, proving to me now that you basically are that fucking great.”

“Oh,” They giggled, cheeks pink.
“Oh!” They gasped, hands to their mouth in horror.
“Oh,” they whined, gripping their hair in frustration.
“Oh,” they breathed, head back and lashes fluttering.
“Oh,” they mumbled, shifting awkwardly.
“Oh,” they deadpanned, arms crossed.
“Oh?” they asked, brow arched and smile bitter.
“Oh,” they chided with a smirk.
“Oh?” they asked, head tilted curiously.
“Oh!” they hissed, scrambling away.
“Oh,” they mumbled, rubbing their neck.
“Oh,” they uttered, eyes wide in awe.
“Oh,” they muttered with an ill-impressed frown.
“Oh!” They cried, throwing their arms around them.
“Oh,” they goaded, smiling mischievously.
“Oh,” they taunted, skipping backwards.
“Oh,” they snarked, hands on their hips.
“Oh,” they breathed, putting it all together.
“Oh,” they said softly, hugging themselves.
“Oh,” they whispered, holding back tears.
“Oh!” they gasped, ducking out of the way.
“Oh,” they uttered, and smacked their forehead.
“Oh,” they laughed, brows wiggling.
“Oh,” they tittered, batting their lashes.
“Oh,” they hissed, gritting their teeth.
"Oh."

Things That May Be Causing Your Writer's Block- and How to Beat Them
I don't like the term 'Writer's Block' - not because it isn't real, but because the term is so vague that it's useless. Hundreds of issues all get lumped together under this one umbrella, making writer's block seem like this all-powerful boogeyman that's impossible to beat. Worse yet, it leaves people giving and receiving advice that is completely ineffective because people often don't realize they're talking about entirely different issues.
In my experience, the key to beating writer's block is figuring out what the block even is, so I put together a list of Actual Reasons why you may be struggling to write:
(note that any case of writer's block is usually a mix of two or more)
Perfectionism (most common)
What it looks like:
You write one sentence and spend the next hour googling "synonyms for ___"
Write. Erase. Write. Rewrite. Erase.
Should I even start writing this scene when I haven't figured out this one specific detail yet?
I hate everything I write
Cringing while writing
My first draft must be perfect, or else I'm a terrible writer
Things that can help:
Give yourself permission to suck
Keep in mind that nothing you write is going to be perfect, especially your first draft
Think of writing your first/early drafts not as writing, but sketching out a loose foundation to build upon later
People write multiple drafts for a reason: write now, edit later
Stop googling synonyms and save that for editing
Write with a pen to reduce temptation to erase
Embrace leaving blank spaces in your writing when you can't think of the right word, name, or detail
It's okay if your writing sucks. We all suck at some point. Embrace the growth mindset, and focus on getting words on a page
Lack of inspiration (easiest to fix)
What it looks like:
Head empty, no ideas
What do I even write about???
I don't have a plot, I just have an image
Want to write but no story to write
Things that can help:
Google writing prompts
If writing prompts aren't your thing, instead try thinking about what kind of tropes/genres/story elements you would like to try out
Instead of thinking about the story you would like to write, think about the story you would like to read, and write that
It's okay if you don't have a fully fleshed out story idea. Even if it's just an image or a line of dialogue, it's okay to write that. A story may or may not come out of it, but at least you got the creative juices flowing
Stop writing. Step away from your desk and let yourself naturally get inspired. Go for a walk, read a book, travel, play video games, research history, etc. Don't force ideas, but do open up your mind to them
If you're like me, world-building may come more naturally than plotting. Design the world first and let the story come later
Boredom/Understimulation (lost the flow)
What it looks like:
I know I should be writing but uugggghhhh I just can'tttttt
Writing words feels like pulling teeth
I started writing, but then I got bored/distracted
I enjoy the idea of writing, but the actual process makes me want to throw my laptop out the window
Things that can help:
Introduce stimulation: snacks, beverages, gum, music such as lo-fi, blankets, decorate your writing space, get a clickity-clackity keyboard, etc.
Add variety: write in a new location, try a new idea/different story for a day or so, switch up how you write (pen and paper vs. computer) or try voice recording or speech-to-text
Gamify writing: create an arbitrary challenge, such as trying to see how many words you can write in a set time and try to beat your high score
Find a writing buddy or join a writer's group
Give yourself a reward for every writing milestone, even if it's just writing a paragraph
Ask yourself whether this project you're working on is something you really want to be doing, and be honest with your answer
Intimidation/Procrastination (often related to perfectionism, but not always)
What it looks like:
I was feeling really motivated to write, but then I opened my laptop
I don't even know where to start
I love writing, but I can never seem to get started
I'll write tomorrow. I mean next week. Next month? Next month, I swear (doesn't write next month)
Can't find the time or energy
Unreasonable expectations (I should be able to write 10,000 words a day, right????)
Feeling discouraged and wondering why I'm even trying
Things that can help:
Follow the 2 min rule (or the 1 paragraph rule, which works better for me): whenever you sit down to write, tell yourself that you are only going to write for 2 minutes. If you feel like continuing once the 2 mins are up, go for it! Otherwise, stop. Force yourself to start but DO NOT force yourself to continue unless you feel like it. The more often you do this, the easier it will be to get started
Make getting started as easy as possible (i.e. minimize barriers: if getting up to get a notebook is stopping you from getting started, then write in the notes app of your phone)
Commit to a routine that will work for you. Baby steps are important here. Go with something that feels reasonable: every day, every other day, once a week, twice a week, and use cues to help you remember to start. If you chose a set time to write, just make sure that it's a time that feels natural to you- i.e. don't force yourself to writing at 9am every morning if you're not a morning person
Find a friend or a writing buddy you can trust and talk it out or share a piece of work you're proud of. Sometimes we just get a bit bogged down by criticism- either internal or external- and need a few words of encouragement
The Problem's Not You, It's Your Story (or Outline (or Process))
What it looks like:
I have no problems writing other scenes, it's just this scene
I started writing, but now I have no idea where I'm going
I don't think I'm doing this right
What's an outline?
Drowning in documents
This. Doesn't. Make. Sense. How do I get from this plot point to this one?!?!?! (this ColeyDoesThings quote lives in my head rent free cause BOY have I been there)
Things That Can Help:
Go back to the drawing board. Really try to get at the root of why a scene or story isn't working
A part of growing as a writer is learning when to kill your darlings. Sometimes you're trying to force an idea or scene that just doesn't work and you need to let it go
If you don't have an outline, write one
If you have an outline and it isn't working, rewrite it, or look up different ways to structure it
You may be trying to write as a pantser when you're really a plotter or vice versa. Experiment with different writing processes and see what feels most natural
Study story structures, starting with the three act structure. Even if you don't use them, you should know them
Check out Ellen Brock on YouTube. She's a professional novel editor who has a lot of advice on writing strategies for different types of writers
Also check out Savage Books on YouTube (another professional story editor) for advice on story structure and dialogue. Seriously, I cannot recommend this guy enough
Executive Dysfunction, Usually From ADHD/Autism
What it looks like:
Everything in boredom/understimulation
Everything in intimidation/procrastination
You have been diagnosed with and/or have symptoms of ADHD/Autism
Things that can help:
If you haven't already, seek a diagnosis or professional treatment
Hire an ADHD coach or other specialist that can help you work with your brain (I use Shimmer; feel free to DM me for a referral)
Seek out neurodiverse communities for advice and support
Try body doubling! There's lot's of free online body doubling websites out there for you to try. If social anxiety is a barrier, start out with writing streams such as katecavanaughwrites on Twitch
Be aware of any sensory barriers that may be getting in the way of you writing (such as an uncomfortable desk chair, harsh lighting, bad sounds)
And Lastly, Burnout, Depression, or Other Mental Illness
What it looks like:
You have symptoms of burnout or depression
Struggling with all things, not just writing
It's more than a lack of inspiration- the spark is just dead
Things that can help:
Forget writing for now. Focus on healing first.
Seek professional help
If you feel like it, use writing as a way to explore your feelings. It can take the form of journaling, poetry, an abstract reflection of your thoughts, narrative essays, or exploring what you're feeling through your fictional characters. The last two helped me rediscover my love of writing after I thought years of depression had killed it for good. Just don't force yourself to do so, and stop if it takes you to a darker place instead of feeling cathartic

one of the best fics i've ever read, one that had me addicted to my phone and crying, wasn't even prose. it was a huge, casual, bullet-pointed outline with every detail of an au that the author never got around to writing in full. and it was amazing.
let this be a message to all you who want to write but can't do it "normally": write it! someone out there will eat it up. whether that be poetry, tiny drabbles, or bullet pointed list: your work is always worth it. your art (yes, art!) will alway deserve to have its moment in the spotlight. why? because you made it. even if it wasn't done in a traditional matter, it came from your brain and your creativity and that is amazing.
