So
I lost hope in humanity, again. And just like that I couldn't concentrate on my works. Things have been slow, I couldn't update my ongoing book nor could I work on the second one.
Authors, what do you do about writer's block?
Motivation
- Edited
take a break. dont force yourself on it. write only when you feel like it.
i mean, i started my book since 2015 and it took me four years to finish that volume. so its ok if the break might take a week or two. just take care of your mental health first, and come back feeling fresh
I am saddened to hear that you lost hope in humanity. Not that I can blame you. Humanity is indeed dying.
For writer's block, I usually write something different. A short story/one shot most of the times. I experience writer's block usually for a particular story so when I change the story and write something else, I can write.
Whycanti meh, I just create some memes. A day later, I bounce back to life
Whycanti When I'm at that state of mind, I usually read other books to freshen up my mind and broaden my views. It'll help you to visualize a lot of things and create ideas in your mind after reading.
For me, I don't suggest taking a long time torest because it will make you lazier than before ( this is also base on my exp.) Maybe, you should try to relax a day or a week while doing whatever you want before diving into writing again.
Anyway, good luck and may the God of Writing bless you.
