Writer's block sucks -- and so do I. :-(

[emmagrant01]

So, I suck. I owe fics for THREE things at the moment, all of which are now late, and I have the most horrible writer's block. I feel like a complete loser that I just cannot make this work. I'm all motivated to get things done, and as soon as I get the doc open, nothing happens. I've even tried to stay away from LJ in an effort to get the writing back on track, and it hasn't helped. *sobs*

Usually when I have writer's block, I just sit down and write, and see what happens. Sometimes it goes somewhere. Sometimes I manage a paragraph before I say fuck it and go do something else. There's been a lot of fuck its in the last week, and I have almost finished knitting a sweater for my nephew as a result. :-P

*stabs writer's block*

So what works for you, writers?

~knows how you feel with the writers block~

I have an entry due for the Snarry games here soon and I've got NOTHING. Not even my normal methods for getting rid of it have worked.

Normally I go through and reread my favorite stories in whatever fandom it is I have writers block in or I watch the movies (sometimes just seeing the characters like that will help me) or I open the playlists in my media that I have devoted to the characters. Yes I have play lists for each of my major characters.

But its not helping me at the moment. But maybe it will help you out.
