Searching for Inspiration.

Hi, everyone!

I've been having some trouble writing lately, and was wondering if anyone could help. I haven't been able to complete any of my old fics or start on any new ones, and have been feeling really uninspired. It's like the same ideas have been running around in my head over and over, without getting anywhere, and everytime I write something, it sucks before I can see it through to the end.

So if anyone has any advice on how to get past this uninspired phase, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance! :)

Usually, something else in life is causing this inspiration drought, whether it be stress or confidence issues. Dealing with those usually opens up my brain.

Or you can live with it (by writing regardless), ignore it (by ignoring your problems), or drown it out (with music). I think people do all three with varying degrees of success. These are also pretty temporary solutions, because that block will always stay there if you don't find a way to dissolve it. But there are people who don't have the luxury of the first option, so they use those three measures.

Oh, that's an interesting perspective! Thank you for pointing that out. I guess this inability to write has gotten me kinda stressed out lately. Gotta get to the root of the problem, so thank you for your help! :)
