And my apologies for replying so late, but that is a really good advice that I will surely try to follow. Thank you very much for those advices, it really speaks volumes to me to be honest. I will try my best and I hope you do too!

Exactly. Like knowing that Reddit will probably take over those Subreddits sooner or later… kinda scary

Same here, been using YT Premium via Argentina for 2 years or so by now. It's nice, cause the few bucks you pay for that are fine, considering you get all videos ad-free and even YT music which isn't great but a nice bonus! just a shame you by now need a Mastercard for it cause Visas have to be from Argentina, as I've heard.

No worries, I actually enjoyed reading this much about your story and your, let's say, journey so far. I mean, you get into detail which helps me quite a lot. Even tho my story is not as character-driven as yours, I would say there are still some very helpful tips in it! Even though your part with "how to get back into the story" is my main problem. My story tends to be very complicated on times. I have now boiled it down to basically two perspectives, the protagonist and the antagonist, but it's still very convoluted when you meet all kinds of characters over a short amount of time. I did that on purpose though: my story takes place in a city where all hell breaks loose, so people are panicked, and they are running around, meeting dozens of other people. Some of them stick, but I wanted to bring that feeling of chaos and helplessness to the reader, so I don't start slowly, you know. After a few pages, you are already in it, deep nose-dive into the chaos with no way of finding a way out. Sounds kinda weird now that I read it.

Yeah I guess I just have to get in the right state of mind to get back into my story. I worked on this for so long and I just wish it would be finished sometime soon haha

yes exactly! It's nice to see that some people actually care enough to move over here and start a new community. Didn't think this would grow so fast tbh, but it's welcoming to see. And for whatever Reddit does, maybe it gets back to normal someday, but I highly doubt it.

[–] xDDxxDDx 1 points 1 year ago

Yes that would be awesome! A few prompts popped up yes, and you should absolutely go ahead and post some of the ones you saved. I really like the creativity people showed there!

But seems like some of them have gone public again. At least those I subscribed to. Not all of them but many did. A shame really!

Well I hope they read it! Very well written, it's nice that you don't suggest them to change or whatever, you just want to leave (as if they would change anything to begin with, right?)

[–] xDDxxDDx 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, I love this Subreddit (oh sorry, said the forbidden word haha) but yeah, I didn't save any prompts they posted because there were some really cool ones there! That would be a great idea and maybe something like that will show up here eventually as well?

[–] xDDxxDDx 1 points 1 year ago

That's actually a really interesting idea, so you just basically jump forward up to a point that you really want to write about? I mean I got those really big steps in my story that it has to "follow along" if you get what I mean, but I am afraid if I just jump in there, I won't be able to connect the dots afterwards, you know?

[–] xDDxxDDx 1 points 1 year ago

So basically, you suggest to just write down whatever you can think of and later sort the ... not so great stuff out haha? I mean sounds like an idea, but since my work is fiction, it's hard to just write down everything when it has to make at least a little bit of sense inside the world that I try to create. Am I making any sense right now?

[–] xDDxxDDx 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you very much for that! Yeah for me the problem is, my writer's block has been "active" for so long and I really want to continue with my project and get other projects done as well. I want to make this my first published story, whether or not someone reads it, I don't care, but I want to achieve that, you know haha. So yes, I will try what you said and just write, whatever comes to my mind haha

 

So I have been writing since... I can remember, let's say at least 15 years. From short stories about all kinds of stuff to more fleshed out things, I just love expressing myself creatively, you get what I mean right?

So anyways, since I would say 3 years or so I couldn't write anything. I really want to continue, but I just can't get myself to do it. And I don't want to force myself because maybe then it turns out to be just bad, you know?

Maybe it's my personal situation that has changed, maybe it's just something that keeps me from it... but I would like to know what you do of you experience a writer's block!

BTW this is my first post on here since I just registered on here and I want to try leaving Reddit... just FYI
