I just wanted to say that I'm in a really good mood~

I don't mean to brag or anything like that, but I finished Idiots Don't Get Sick and I broke 20,000 words. Not to shabby since it was supposed to be a short one shot. And it's my first real story too XD

And since I'm in such a good mood, I decided to update this story today too.

Please enjoy.

Chapter 8

Writer's Block

One of my guest reviewers asked me if I had any tips for sever writer's block. Although I'm not sure if they are being serious or not, I found the comment to be hilarious because I always wondered why I get writers block whenever I try writing school papers, but I digress.

I do in fact have some tips for curing this annoying disease. I hope they help you like they help me.

For starters, I have a trick to avoid getting writers block while you're in the middle of writing out a story. It's a little something I like to call a detailed brainstorm.

If you know the details and plan them out before you actually write the story, you can save yourself a lot of time.

I understand that a lot of people already know this so I'm just going to leave this particular trick at that.

It helps to take a break from writing your story, if you get stuck.

Go outside, play a videogame, watch an episode of the anime or read the manga, even reading other stories from this site can give you ideas and inspiration.

If you're nervous that you might be stealing ideas from someone by using this method, than don't be.

You're not plagiarizing if your just taking a concept form another story. And it can be fun adding your own twist to it, as a means of fitting in with your story.

And besides, copying something is the ultimate form of flattery.

If you want to write a story and your not sure on what you want to do, you can look up old story prompts.

They sometimes have guidelines that help make writing easier. Or you can ignore them and just make something up.

Ask a friend to help you if your stuck.

Even if what your friend comes up with isn't what you want to use, it still helps you out. Well, most of the time anyway.

Try mixing up your genre of writing.

If you usually do romance stories, maybe write a nakamaship one instead.

It can be refreshing for you and your readers.

Make a story in the character's perspective.

Sometimes switching between pov's is hard.

Focusing on one character is easier, and you really learn how that character thinks by doing it.

~Done

Well, that's all I can come up with, If I think of any more, I'll be sure to write them down.

Also, If you have anything you want me to write about or address, I'm open for ideas.

I can only think of so many things to write about, after all. So please, don't be shy.

As always thanks for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. Bye~
