Writer’s block
Ok, since I have barely had free time lately I am seizing the day now that it’s the start of Christmas break before all my duties for school start to nag me and make me feel miserable because I keep procrastinating things till the very end.
That said... I have experienced a writer’s block, which is unusual for me as an essay writer, but it seems it is quite normal for me as a fiction writer. At this point, I thought I needed help because I know I have started on the wrong foot, I mean, I only drafted a very very generic plot for my main plot and quite none at all for my subplots. And my subplots are so many. I have a lot of ideas in my mind and I was scared that put them down would restrain me too much. To make it worse, from a certain point of view, a lot of ideas just come into life while I write. I was lucky till now. But now that I am dealing with a character I am less familiar with and with the urgency to write the third chapter of the first part of my series, I don’t wanna be a hero, and the second of the second part, Golden hues in our valley, I need to stop and make a decent scheme for what my story is: I dunno where I am really going. I keep imagining scenes, but a story is not done by scenes, is it? What is worse, this imagination of mine only emphasizes my tendency to describe things in detail, seeing that I like to build the scenery. This won’t do, I know it.
And here I am, writing down my character’s story. Man, it’s easy and difficult at the same time, seriously. I started with a sprint and after 30 minutes I feel drained as if I lived my character’s 25 years of life all at once. But I believe this is the right thing for me to feel since it means that my character is so full of life and so eager to come out of my head that he is consuming my vital energy :D
Yeah, go for it, Akaashi, drain my soul just a little bit more. Bokuto, Tsukki and Kuroo are waiting for you to finish. Not counting Tooru and Iwachan glaring at us from the distance.
