Freja Dannerfjord | 1 comments Hey to you reading this

I began writing in start January, I had a lot of ideas and had an outline for almost the whole book. But I didn’t really know how to write all my ideas down, but needed up still writing. But because of this little problem with writing things down, I got into a writing slum and I still don’t know how to get out of it. Any aspiring authors that has good advice for getting out of a writing slum?

What works for me is just sitting down and forcing myself to write (even if it’s not my main project i’ll just write some random poem or something). Then i’m like “omg writing is slay” and that gets me back into my rhythm. As I’m in the same boat as you…it doesn’t always work lol

Ruqayyah  | 951 comments Maybe taking a break also can help, Leigh Bardugo says she has times of intense writing and other times were she doesn't write at all. It's totally normal, use this time to fill your creative pot and garner inspiration.
May it be good for you x
