Praying, not sure who to, that I actually get some DECENT sleep tonight. I’ve not gotten about 6 1/2 hours a night, mostly filled with nightmares and late night awakenings, all week. I’m so tired y’all.

Not well right now but I know this is a project without a deadline so I can take some time for self-care and rejuvenating and come back at it when I’m more ready.
However, if someone happens to know about demonology and stuff, hit my DMs plz b/c I got questions for plot reasons!

It sounds hard but taking a macro approach to your writing and isolating where things are stagnating. Is it you struggling with a scene, is the plot not working in certain spots? Are you taking care of yourself? Are your needs met?
Examine everything and adjust accordingly!

I feel like only time heals this type of thing for me. Because I feel like most of my writer’s block stems from over exertion, I need to rest and take care of myself to get that spark back.
Sometimes a new writing prompt will help speed things along but care is needed first.

To me, writer’s block feels like a wall. I know the words, ideas, emotions, EVERYTHING I want is on the other side of that wall but I can’t seem to break through, climb it, or go around it. It’s almost exactly how I felt about everyday tasks until I got on ADHD meds.

Writers block and I are good friends at this point. I find it tends to coexist in times when I’ve stretched myself too much emotionally like with my SAD or general over processing.
It passes but only with time and clearing out the gunk in the drainage ditch, so to speak.

Hello! I’m Nash or Nashbird depending on your preference. My main goal this month was either my trans demon summoning story or a canon divergent AU Marvel fic where Bucky becomes a photographer.
Unfortunately, writer’s block and depression has hit and I crashed after 5,000 words.

I swear every time I take a screenshot and read through it, I have to make a change before and re-screenshot before I can post it. Today’s blunder: using a gendered pronoun for references to the demon instead of It/Its. I hate editing 😭 (rn at least)

There are SO many (FREE) resources these days that can help you learn how to be an artist. There are free art programs. A pencil and some paper is inexpensive. There is literally no excuse to not learn to draw and instead rely on AI generation.
Being an AI "artist" just makes you a pathetic loser.

Formatting’s off but we ignore it for the post. Trying to use Ellipsus on a laggy old phone without WiFi is asking for trouble (and it was. I deleted several paragraphs by accident)
Still, I love the “accidental” banter between the demon and William.

It’s a warm 72° here in OKC and I have all the windows open to some degree. Very unusual for November.
Ramen is observing the cats in the field next door. I would open the window more but he’s popped the screen before trying to get to the cats lol

I really love the evolution of Chester as a character. I had first written him as this sort of devily character with no moral compass and now he's this sort of flirt who loves to make Elise blush. If I ever finish this book, I know it's going to be so good.

Got a random Discord message from a friend asking if bread dough is considered a liquid by the TSA. Me, who has flown three times in their entire life, shockingly does not have an answer for this question.
And no, it’s not a sourdough starter, it’s just regular bread dough. I did ask.
