Any tips for someone who completly stuck in writeblock with no actual reason? I wasn't writing in years but i can't let it go either.

Honestly, I am also experiencing the same issue, having used to write a lot and now I can't seem to catch the groove again.

What helps me is usually looking for inspiration/muses or helpful tips on tumblr! Hence the reason I am a prompts blog.

Happy writing.

Can you give tips for slow burn/developing romance? I’m good at writing couples once they’re already in love, but when they have a crush on each other or them slowly developing feelings I don’t really know how to do

How to Write a Slow Burn Romance

-> writersdigest.com

-> reddit.com

The Growing Relationship

Make sure the reasons your characters don't get together right away makes sense. It doesn't need to be realistic, but it needs to be believable.

Focus on how their relationship grows. Spend time on the meeting, the getting to know each other, the subtle moments and big moments that draw them to each other. There will be obstacles, arguments, and conflicts to solve.

Make the development of the relationship natural for the characters.

Start as far back in their relationship as you can. This will allow the longest amount of time for their relationship to be exploired in the story. If it fits, you can start when they first meet. Of course, if it doesn't fit your story, you can start later in their relationship.

Build the Tension

You want your readers to be on the edge of their seats when it comes to your character's relationship. They should be screaming "just kiss already!"

Add near-miss moments. An almost kiss interrupted by a phone call. A hug that lasts just a moment too long.

Add little indications of feelings. Soft Smiles. Winking. The brush of a finger. Lingering glances.

Pining. Give insights into your character's thoughts. Constant thoughts about the other person. Butterflies when they think about them. The anticipation.

Slow Burn, Not Slow Pace

There needs to be other plot points happening while the romantic tension is building. Your characters should be dealing with other situations while they are also pining after each other.

Outside Forces

Slowburns are not always endless pining and dancing around one another. Sometimes, there are outside forces that are keeping characters apart when they already realize that the feelings are mutual.

Examples: Distance between the characters, health/mental health reasons, job/work complications, family dynamics, character goals, characters are on two different sides of a conflict, etc.

subtle acts of love

giving them food without them asking for it

randomly bringing them flowers

holding a door open for them

pulling out their chair for them

guiding them with a gentle hand on the small of their back

making them lunch to take to work with them

fixing their clothes or hair

giving them a massage

talking casually about a shared future

showing them their appreciation for them

waiting at home to say hello when they come in

paying complete attention to them

giving them a casual, but thoughtful compliment

writing them a love letter and hiding it for them to find

showing them something that reminded them of their partner

humming a song to calm them down

giving them a quick kiss whenever they pass each other at home

casual grabbing their hand and swinging it back and forth

remembering something they told them

american war from the 2017 omar el akkad novel. feel free to change as needed.

this isn't a story about war. it's about ruin.

i was happy then.

what did i tell you about wasting what's not yours to waste?

get your butt to breakfast.

didn't i tell you not to go opening my dresser?

don't you ever say that, you hear me?

you're a beautiful girl.

where's your good tie?

if you say it then they have to check one of the boxes on the form and take you into another room and ask you all kinds of questions.

it's like we aren't human, aren't animal even, like we're something else entirely.

you'll make friends your first day there.

we got some sandwiches left, coffee too.

i know it in my heart.

well, hello, darling, don't you look pretty today.

life's not worth living alone.

i'm old enough to know.

you got mud everywhere.

you don't know what you're talking about.

honey, it all happened so fast.

you got some balls talking that way.

go on to your room and pack as many clothes as you can get into your backpack.

waste of goddamn time.

got a full long day ahead of you.

there's nobody left here but me.

you gotta eat a little shit to get ahead.

i don't expect you to understand

nothing as sad as a lapsed catholic.

i don't know your story, and i don't care.

stay mean if you want to.

stop rolling around in the dirt.

screw you, [name].

you've got to stop talking like that.

try not to give anybody reason to make fun of you.

think we're gonna die here?

you never told me that before.

time buries time.

may as well show me whatever it is you got under there.

no matter what they tell you, some things are just wrong.

relax. have some fruit.

i'm telling you, it won't work.

you know we're not supposed to.

i'll give you fifty bucks.

stop being so scared of everything.

you think we don't have enough problems?

you're a good friend.

whatever it is you're looking for, i doubt you'll find it here.

don't worry, i won't tell on you.

come down from there.

i have a business proposition for you.

good girl.

i'll see you around, i guess.

make yourself at home.

that's what an empire is: an orchestrator of gravity, a sun around which all weaker things spin.

we forget, sometimes, that there are still beautiful things.

the only truly stable profession is blood work—the work of the surgeon, the soldier, the butcher.

i think it's only fair that i, in turn, share a secret with you.

maybe you're one of the special ones.

the first thing they try to take from you is your history.

i think you'll make a place for yourself in this world.

war is movement.

you haven't been home in four days.

how can you go and do the one thing you promised me you wouldn't do?

i want to introduce you to a close friend of mine.

it's a very beautiful part of the world.

there's nothing quite as tedious as old farts droning on about the days of their youth, is there?

we have a habit in this country of deciding wisdom of our wars only after we're done fighting them.

do you know how to use a knife?

all it takes is resistance and stress.

this doesn't concern you.

you've been saying that for years.

you gotta hide. they'll come after you.

i have one more thing for you.

i can't lose everyone i love.

i want to kill them.

having a bad day?

you really are too old to have fun.

how did you sleep, honey?

i'm so glad you're home.

enough small talk. let's eat.

at least you made it out alive.

keep your voice down. you want everyone in the place to know?

you poker-faced bitch.

we ain't a church—we don't need their charity.

this is my last year in this place.

how you feeling, boss?

it's not victory, it's one man dead. they got plenty more still living.

so you're the one that caused all that mess.

darling, we're all a part of this.

there's a whole great world out there, little girl.

you should be asking me for help, not the other way around.

you're here because i like you.

i'm not afraid to die.

what do you want me to do, then? crawl in a hole and wait?

they think they can just tell you what to do and you gotta listen like you got no say, like you got no thoughts.

we're young, and we ain't bound by what they're bound by.

i just wanted to be something.

it's going to be alright. just stay with me. it's going to be alright.

we know exactly what you did.

all you have to do is be honest with me.

you believe any of that stuff about coming back as a toad or an ant or something if you were real bad in your last life?

you should be in bed.

we've got a room for you all ready. it's a nice room.

i want to sleep on the soil.

don't ever come in here again.

it does the soul good to see you.

take this. it'll make the pain stop.

you really are your father's son.

i'm sorry i looked at your things.

i don't know what it's going to take for you to see that.

if you want me gone, i'll go.

i forgot how to sleep in the dark.

i can't imagine what you went through.

i'll love you anyway. that's what family does.

you're the only one still living who never once wronged me.

i won't let nothing bad happen to you.

i don't owe anybody a single thing.

it's strange, isn't it, what sticks with you and what doesn't.

i want you to forgive me.

hey, you want to go on an adventure?

you keep squealing like that and i'll break your jaw.

[name] told me you were a sweet boy.

Lines from Sad Songs Prompts

I don't wanna be here, I don't know what to do.

I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Some things we don't talk about.

Were there signs I ignored?

Am I supposed to be happy?

Stop crying and bring me my son.

This house don't feel like home.

Don't call me a friend when you're not.

Don't give up on me yet.

Be strong and hold my hand.

You're angry, and you should be. It's not fair.

How come when I reach out my fingers it feels like more than distance between us?

I'm selfish, I know.

If you love me, don't let go.

No one else will have me. Only you.

These days I'm becoming everything that I hate.

I wanna dream, leave me to dream.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part.

I'm a liability.

I just wanna die.

Is there something wrong with me?

I hate to think that I was just your type.

I hope you're happy, but not like how you were with me.

There's really no way to reach me, 'cause I'm already gone.

Nothing's changed. No one can take your place.

I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Are you coming to get me now?

I know I haven't been the best of sons.

Kinda thought they might care.

I know we weren't perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one.

She's got everything that I don't have. How could I ever compete with that?

Does she love you better than I can?

Let's not fight. I'm tired, can't we just sleep tonight?

Who do you want me to be?

Maybe I am just not enough.

I'm way too good at goodbyes.

I never said 'thank you' for that.

This ain't love, it's clear to see.

Can I help you not to hurt anymore?

I know I'm not the only one.

The hardest part of this is leaving you.

Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away.

Never let them take the light behind your eyes.

All I wanted was you.

[wholelottaprompts]

added the deluxe songs!

Still, I choose to be in love with you.

Maybe for you, though, I could accommodate.

I hope I make it through the night.

My clothes are off, I'm comin' over to your place.

To turn me down, well, that's just unethical.

I can do a lot with fifteen minutes.

When did all you bitches get so nice?

One day, believe me, you'll want someone that makes it easy.

I'm a busy woman.

When you're hot, they're gonna eat you alive.

I'll do it, don't you make me.

I've heard all the bad news and the bad reviews.

You don't know how hard I can make it.

Well, I didn't want your bitch ass anyway.

I'll turn into someone you're scared to know.

First, I gotta get rid of that car.

Your family is gonna get every dime they got comin' to 'em, [Name]. No matter how long it takes.

On the way home, I was gonna get us some pizza.

I don't even like your car . . . drives like a dick.

Only you can decide what's best for you, [Name]. Not him, not me.

Yo, kick in bitch.

Only an asshole doesn't like pineapple. I'm guessing you don't?

I'm no cop-killer.

Yeah, I know who this is. At this point, who doesn't?

Just play along. Make some conversation.

Don't say nothin'. Just go.

You're really lucky, you know that? You didn't have to wait your whole life to do something special.

I heard you saying that I should turn myself in.

It's on the house. Good kid, least I could do.

You drive like a blind guy with no legs.

With a little luck, you will soon find yourself many miles from here.

I don’t know if it’ll mean much to you, but you did your best. And whatever happened with me, it’s on me.

Where would you go, if you were me?

Quit running and get some help.

Dude, you're my hero 'n shit.

Now here you go again...

Rulers make bad lovers.

Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me.

I can't walk away from you, baby, if I try.

Players only love you when they're playing.

You better put your kingdom up for sale.

I'm never going back again.

Why are you right when I'm so wrong?

I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me.

If you don't love me now, you will never love me again.

All I want is to see you smile.

I just want you to feel fine.

You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you!

You don't know what it means to win.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

I never meant any harm to you.

You make me happy with the things you do.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.

Damn your love. Damn your lies.

Loving you isn't the right thing to do.

How can you love me?

I never did believe in miracles, but I've a feeling it's time to try.

it's been a long time since you stopped by.

i'll spank you.

you're lost a lot of weight. somebody been loving you too hard?

what's that look for?

hear you're the boss around here.

you're always showing up and disappearing.

i never want to see your damned face again.

it's better that you coughed up blood. you'll finally have to look after yourself.

sleep and dream about your childhood.

kiss me goodbye.

heartless bitch.

don't be mad at me, old man.

i couldn't stand being cooped up.

until you break free of that, there's no hope for you.

i've killed more people than you.

this is no place for a sick man.

go back to bed and stay there.

drop the feudalistic loyalty crap. makes me sick.

didn't i tell you to simmer down and get some rest?

listen, now. you stay right where you are.

human sacrifice has gone out of style.

don't you dare get out of bed.

i've always thought you're not cut out for this life.

i'm sick and tired of this place.

you've got to keep your temper.

you never did beat around the bush.

everything's so screwed up, it makes me want to throw up.

once a beast, always a beast.

you were blinded by love.

love made everything clear.

don't cry. i know exactly how you feel.

hey, no running.

you owe me a sweet.

don't you know anything?

say, why don't you come along?

a rational approach is the best medicine for life.

maus from the 1991 art spiegelman graphic novel. alter as needed.

if you lock them together in a room with no food for a week, then you could see what it is, friends!

you're late. i was worried.

no one wants to hear such stories.

people always told me i looked like rudolph valentino.

let's get engaged.

looks aren't everything.

let me make you happy!

i'd like to show you off to my friends.

my parents would like you to come to dinner tomorrow night.

no telephone calls, no letters, nothing! what happened?

what have i done that's so horrible?

hide this package for me. don't tell anyone about it.

look now what you made me do!

what's wrong, darling?

nothing matters.

i just don't want to live.

here, baby. drink this and rest.

look at how beautiful these gardens are.

i think of you as part of my own family.

you see how i have to suffer?

my hand is sore from writing all this down.

finish at least what's on your plate.

you should know it's impossible to argue.

where do you think you're going?

show me your hands.

i'll write to you.

thank god you're safe!

you always tell me the same things. there's nothing i can do.

you make the worst coffee i've ever tasted.

it looks like a million dollars on you.

just come sit with me.

your stew is even tastier than i remembered.

cut the cards.

you have excellent taste in furniture.

if you want to stay alive, go back inside.

it still makes me cry.

stop with the smoking.

don't be so smart!

maybe you should lie down a while.

my nerves are completely shot.

now, now, boy.

it's good you got it outside your system.

it's bad luck to even speak of it!

i can bribe them.

we must all stay together. we've made it this far.

i can't stand all these worms crawling over me.

we'd better wait til things quiet down.

i'll do everything i can.

i'm going to blow your brains out.

no, darling! to die, it's easy, but you have to struggle for life! until the last moment we must struggle together.

you're now old enough.

easy. let's go home.

i feel like i'm in prison! i feel like i'm going to burst!

someday you'll be famous.

it's a miracle! how did you manage it?

i hardly recognized you.

you can come into my house for an hour or so til you warm up.

things can't be this bad everywhere.

you're crazy. it's too dangerous.

i've always taken care of you. trust me.

here, darling. i have a present for you.

goddamn you!

you should visit here more often. don't be such a stranger!

i'm trying to figure out what kind of animal you would be.

reminds me too much of my relatives to be erotic.

i guess i bit off more than i could chew.

light me a cigarette.

i made you a bed. you can be comfortable here.

um. have you seen my pants?

what a miser!

god. if it wasn't so pathetic, it'd be kinda funny.

damn it, you're driving me nuts!

remember my house is also your house.

of course, darling. you can ask me anything.

why are you crying, my son?

aren't you afraid you'll get caught?

lately, i've been feeling depressed.

sometimes i just don't feel like a functioning adult.

mostly i feel like crying.

keep yourself strong. for my sake.

just seeing you again gives me strength.

i think about you always.

it's good to know how to do everything.

i'll get you anything you want.

leaving? but you only just came!

i'm starting to feel human again!

want some chocolate?

never you mind, darling. it's always a pleasure when you visit.

stop! i feel guilty enough already.

it's so good to see the sun.

that's enough stories for now.

Sparring/Training Prompts

Aren't I the best partner to train with?

You're being too rough!

Take it easy on me!

I'm just trying to make you stronger!

When do we get to break?

I'm exhausted.

No time to rest now, get up!

Throw a few more punches, and really try this time!

The harder you train, the harder you'll be to beat.

You're come so far.

I'm really proud of all the training you've done.

Remember the scrawny kid you used to be?

I feel like I've been in the same spot with my progress.

I feel like I haven't progressed at all!

You'll see progress in time.

Practice makes perfect!

Don't quit, never quit!

Thank you for not giving up on me.

You never gave up on me.

I could never give up on you.

I know you're stronger than this!

C'mon, give it all you got!

It's all mental, really. Stop thinking you can't do it and just do it!

You can do it. You've been doing it!

╰┈➤ Workaholic Prompts

As a wise woman once said, "what, like it's hard?"

Being a workaholic isn't always bad, I just like to work!

I put my all into what I do.

I'm proud of my work.

I work hard because I want to be proud of my work.

I don't dream. I achieve.

Don't hate the player, hate the game!

Don't hate me because I work hard.

That's the difference between you and I. I work hard.

The feeling of accomplishment...it's addicting.

You say 'workaholic', I say 'motivated'.

You should really take a vacation.

Don't you need a break? You've been here all night!

Have you left your desk at all today?

When's the last time you stood up from that chair?

Working hard doesn't mean working to the point of exhaustion.

They're the hardest worker I know.

I haven't seen them leave the office all weekend.

I don't have time to sleep!

You can't work hard if you're tired.
