go grab a prompt!

[green]

Today is the last day to claim a prompt at getmikeylaid! There are plenty of prompts left, and you can claim up to 3. Fics only have to be 500 words. You can doooooo this!

CLAIM HERE!

In other, more personal news: I can't write. I'm trying, but it's not coming. I think the pressure is getting to me, I mean, I signed up for things and now I'm going 'omg, I can't!' Also, it's like that writing part of my brain is not working at all. I've been making graphics and textures and playing around in my editing program, and thinking in COLORS and LINES instead of in words, which makes writing difficult.

Does anyone have any advice for me to help me get out of this rut? :(

Something that's worked for me in the past to try to pretend I'm not writing, but taking notes on the movie in my brain. "She goes home, then he shows up, there's a fight...", that kind of thing. When successful, I end up jumpstarting my writing-brain this way.

There's a thought! I write better when I'm 'not-writing' and maybe something will stick. :)

I have nothing very concrete. Either wait for it to pass (which is what I generally do, since my blocks usually only last for a few days), or make yourself write for a given time each day and do not let yourself delete what you write. You can go back and edit later.

Thank you, bb. I will try. :)

There are prompts on there I can actually see myself writing but I'm afraid of dropping out. :/ It's in the middle of my assessment period.

Actually, technically, I think it's at the end of my assessment period. I could claim stuff but I may only have the 19th and the 20th free for writing and I might have to drop one or two. Are there rules on that stuff?

It's not an exchange, so if you don't write the prompts no one is going to be majorly disappointed, you know? Why don't you choose one prompt and see how it goes?
