writeworld:

death-in-its-most-hideous-form asked: Any advice for a writer who is beyond W-blocked? Like in a writing depression (not just “write anything,” that doesn’t work for me)?

I do not envy you. And no, I can imagine that “write anything” would be rather bewildering advice to give at this moment.

How about “write something”? Over the next week, try to write at least 500 words per day, using the exercises below or anything else you can think up.

• Write with a purpose. Whether it’s a poem as a gift to a friend or a letter to a pen pal, write to someone for something. Instead of writing for yourself, write to someone else. May we suggest answering some questions for WriteMeIn?
• Rant. Write a post about something that’s really been bothering you. As you write, notice how passionate you are, really notice. Passion is an amazing writing tool. It gets us through the day and wakes us up in the middle of the night for more. Write about something that makes you angry or sad, something that makes you feel, and remember what it was like to have passion while you write.
• Copy from life. Sit in a coffee shop or in class or at work and jot down the conversations of the people around you. Since you lack the inspiration, use their words as a launching point or simply to help you meet your 500-word quota. The point is to exercise that pen a bit, not necessarily to write a novella about a classmate wishing to borrow a sheet of paper.
• Comment on blogs. Tumblr ask boxes are perfect because they limit your space, so you must compose rather than going on at great length on a subject. Comment to a few blogs each day. Tell them what you think of their articles/graphics/gifs/faces/whatever. Tell them you love/hate their blog. Be passionate. Try commenting only during the time of day when you normally write (for me, it’s in the late evening or early morning) to help yourself get back into the rhythm of writing during that time.
• Let people read your work. With commenting and writing with a purpose, other people will see what you’ve written, but it’s not necessary fiction that you’re writing. Let a stranger read and give feedback on something you’ve written in the recent past. Positive reinforcement that others enjoy your writing can be a wonderful source of self-esteem and may be just the kick in the pants that you need.
• Read a magazine. Go read some random short articles, maybe even just on Wikipedia, on something that you know next to nothing about. Take notes. Lift character and plot ideas from these articles, even if you don’t plan to take them anywhere. This exercise is to get you back into the flow of finding creative writing ideas and experiencing newness (which can also be achieved by going somewhere new or meeting new people). Newness is a big deal for writers. If we don’t leave the house, we may get stuck in a rut. 
• Doodle. Trust us. Doodle.
• lullabydust adds: My personal favorite, and this always works for me, is to rewrite something you’ve already written. Take the last chapter and rewrite it word-for-word. I find that by the time I get to the end the juices are really flowing and I can just keep writing! I do the same thing with poems sometimes~ Alternatively, for the less-intensely writer’s blocked, re-write a scene in less literal terms. Take some scene that you know isn’t good enough and rewrite it! You may not be increasing your page count, but at least you’re being productive :)

I hope those help! If anyone has any other ideas to add, please send them to our ask box and we’ll add them to the list.

Thank you for your question (and good luck)!

While mannerisms do not replace character growth and development, they are often the traits that often stick out about characters once we close the internet window or book. They can work to make a character annoying, endearing, or anything in-between. Do any of your characters have quirks or mannerisms that are particular to him or her? How do they affect your character. Do they affect how they interact with others? 

Example: a character who is a huge history buff and will often interject random historical facts into a conversation

• Quirk: a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism

Hahahaha ever since Saturday the Korra finale seems to make me angrier and angrier. As a storyteller and as a fan of solid storytelling, it is an atrocious mess! I stand by the creators are amazing directors, amazing concept artists, amazing producers, but wow are they terrible writers. They have absolutely no understanding of dramatic convention, and so the first season of The Legend of Korra suffered greatly from terrible execution, and the core ideas were so good it should’ve been a gamechanger. It should’ve been the most brilliant thing on television and instead we were given a 12-week narrative case of blue balls.

Disclaimer: if you enjoyed/love/fanatic about Korra, by all means continue to do so! I enjoyed a lot about Korra. In fact that is why I am so frustrated. But that aside, this is meant as a critique and a dissection and as such you can take it or you can leave it. Nothing I have to say will change the show, nor will anything I have to say will have any effect on what season 2 will bring. Mostly I have been ranting about it to everyone on a daily basis since Saturday and this is my way to finally just. get. it. all. out. So this is me shouting into the ether for my own cathartic glee.

Cool? Cool.

You are my favorite person for writing this essay of sheer brilliance. Ohmygod. If Korra was made like what you suggested then fuck, it would have been AMAZING. The writers of the show were horrible what the fuck even

i’ll stop now before i start ranting myself.
