Hi Y’all,
Does anybody have tips/tricks for pushing through a lack of motivation to write combined with writer’s block on certain difficult scenes? I was writing consistently almost a month and half even prior to the 90-day-novel, making steady progress on my WIP. Now, I catching myself searching for every little excuse (many of which are very legit) to neglect my writing and when I do sit down, I don’t make much progress due to being left to write the big, complicated scenes… which only compounds my lack of motivation, LOL.
Thanks so much!
I always pretend the scene is a movie and then I dream it up with music and everything in my head. Sometimes that brings things up. But other times I have conversations with people in my head, and I explain what the story is about, and that helps me too. It’s kind of a silly answer, but dreaming always helps me. LOL
Somebody else will probably have a better answer. Haha! ;P
Sometimes just a good idea really gets me moving towards that spot cuz I want to write it so bad!!
Not silly at all. I am new to this but feel that I have to be dreaming this up if I am able to write at all. You are immersing yourself into a fictional world. As Brad likes to say, ‘You make all of the rules.’ So pretending is a great idea.
