>>24832795Drugs worked for me. After weeks of procastinating I did shrooms and typed 20 A4s in one sitting. Hardly any of that was edited out. Then I repeaded once more for the epilogue and work was was over.Captcha : kha02
>>24831129Writers block is the most pathetic made up shit. None of the great writers had 'writers block', unless it's like a once off years long existential crisis thing that they get over and never have to worry about again. But having writers block on and off for your entire life is embarrassing. Did you even learn how to write to begin with? It's a craft, you should know your craft well enough to do it blindfolded.

>>24831129What i usually do is sleep deprive, get hopped up on caffeine and write down skitzobabble for ideas and then when i'm well-rested and aware i pick out what works and what doesn't and structure it. I usually get like a few thousand words of a gibberish nonsense and exteact a couple ideas from that.A lot of writing is boring work desu. Even prose can be "mathed" out. Illustration is a far more creative task
