What to write about
Apologies for not being active (said to the 6 people that care), but I'm back and I plan to be here more as boredom strikes again at 2 in the morning. Also if you have a request for me to ramble about, I'll do my best.
The concept of not knowing what to do or say has always been an issue. Everyone has felt it before. Especially those of you who regularly write, paint, or create in general.
So how do we stop this? Or, moreover, combat this cat and mouse chase. Well, I've but a few ideas. (Why do I talk like an English man in the wee hours-?)
One: Random word. You know the trend where content creators will use an effect that makes it so when you tap the screen a letter comes up and they blurt out a word? Yeah, that, but it's the first letter you see or think of. Say you see an "A" and the first word that comes to mind is "Anthropology" (yes this is the first word that came to my mind.) You would then write about it. How? Maybe a research paper, your before and after opinions, etc. "How would I draw Anthropology?" You're probably asking as I see many artists here. Since it's the study of humans/human behavior, you could always put your oc into a scenario where maybe they're being studied or are the scientist. Truly up to you.
Two: Go mental. Sounds bad, but really, how many times has a "mad scientist" turn out to be one of history's greatest inventors? Take Nikola Tesla, the man himself. He was frankly feverish in his work. Thomas Edison, he locked himself in his laboratory for days onto weeks. And now we have one of the most important things we use in our daily lives, the light bulb. So, what I'm saying is be wild, be free. At the end of the day, the only thing holding you back is the fear someone else will.
Three: Giving yourself...a break. Seems counterproductive, but seriously. It may just be burnout, or artist block. Now, everyone will tell you to stay healthy during this but we all know you don't want to. Don't worry, been there done that. What I want you to do is binge a hobby. "What counts as a hobby, GuisesRagdoll/imliterallychuuya?" (I can now never change my username after this.) Anything you enjoy. Even wallowing in self pity because you can't do the one thing you do all the time.
That about finishes it, I myself have been in some blockage and no I will not follow my own advice. Also someone please tell me why I talk formal-ish-ly after 1 in the morning I cannot stop it.
