Writing--

How do you guys get over writers block? What about if you stumble into a wall that you didn't mean to put in your story? Any advice?

@tkstylist
First, I look at it logically. Either I'll read my previous chapter and think about where the next logical place is (ie if one moment they're at a coffee shop and then next week they go on a cruise, I might talk about the week long anticipation and packing and boarding, but not the cruise). Or I'll have a rough idea about where I want it to go and decide from there (they're at the mall but somebody dies. Where and what would make sense in the chapter before somebody dies? Probably a sketchy dude chasing them into a sketchy alley lol)

Or I'll decide "filler chapter it is!" and just churn out some piece of shit till I feel comfortable continuing the plot. Hopefully this makes a little sense.

Lmao very good. I have some pretty heavy shit going on in one of my stories and I'm like how do I even go from here?! I may have to pop a few fillers in until I come up with something brilliant (in my mind at least.) Thanks for the feedback dear!

@tkstylist
No problem :D I'm shit at updating but when I do get around to it it's easiest for me to look at it step by step in a way that makes sense. I'm about to destroy half the characters I have in Love Bites ;P so I know the feels

@tkstylist
i haven't hit this but when my friends do - they ask me to read their chapters and give them like a guide or suggestion to where the story could possibly go. i don't have to be in detail or anything, just a vague push and they usually take it from there. perhaps you could get someone to read the part you're stuck on and suggest something?
