You're right. Thanks!
Our stories are often based on insights we have gleaned from our own lives or bits of information from others. When you're blocked it's not as if you can't write but that the inspiration or eagerness to write is lacking. I'd suggest that you ignore anything that would stop you from writing; pretend that this story is just for yourself and you don't need to meet anyone's expectations. One of the most important pieces of advice I've ever heard was that being blocked means you're lacking an experience needed to tell a story. You need to explore! Try something new! Get some fresh air, a change of pace, a new location, speak with a new person, and best of all, read a new book! For some authors, reading another tale can reignite that passion and trigger some new ideas. Best of luck!
Thank you so much! That's really helpful
Sorry I didn't realize that you originally posted 2 years ago lmao. I hope you got over your block!
No problem. I haven't really been trying because every time I try to write I end up almost pulling my own hair out. It's making me suffer, so I'll let it rest for a while, because the nerves I'm experiencing have caused me a skin condition that isn't exactly... fun. So I will push the thought from my mind for a bit
