Then I have the rest of Black Friday off, but I have to work that Saturday. Still, I feel like I'm getting off easy.

I could use some advice · 6:41pm Oct 17th, 2017
Things are finally starting to calm down a little over here, and I finally got a freaking job. It's just seasonal, but it'll help. The problem is I want to get back into writing, it's been a while since I've gotten around to my fanfics. But my brain is wanting to be lazy. How can I get back into the writing mood? I tried sitting there and seeing if something can come to me (like I used to do), and I just sat there for 3 hours watching a chipmunk out the window until I fell asleep from boredom. Any advice on how to get back into the writing mindset?

For me it's two things. The fist is just thinking of one simple idea for a story. Then I try to expand on that idea and build off of it until I feel I've got enough going for a story. I'll come up with a scenario I'd like a story to revolve around. Then think of characters, settings and so on. I also listen to music that gets me in the mood for the kind of story I'd like to write, whether it's horror, adventure, mystery or whatever. Hopefully it helps!
Hey im glad things are calming down for you and that you are going to be writing again
I have a couple of things that help me (when I actually have the scarce time to do so 
) first, I sit and think of a story idea to do and jot some notes down on a piece of paper or computer document, whichever you prefer. From there, I play with the idea and think of how the idea could play out as a kind of freewrite idea. at the end, if I like the idea, i'll keep playing with it when I have time and then check on another project i'm doing to get inspiration to continue with that one.
the second idea, is that if you're not finding inspiration for a story you've been working on, save what you've got, and walk away from it for a bit, take a walk, do some chores or something else that helps take your mind off and/or is something that needs to be done, and return to it later to see if it helped refresh your motivation for the story. it works for me so it may help you
I hope this helps you Moon
Try watching the show or reading fanfiction

Thank you guys. I have a couple ideas of what can help now. I'm hopefully going to get back into it with Pinkie Mystery.
Drugs!!!!!
for me i'd watch something in the same genre of story you're writing for instance if it is a slice of life then i'd watch a slice of life anime or tv show etc. if that doesnt help just daydream when your doing other stuff that's what i do
Either classical music for focus, or sometimes rock for getting pumped when your on a roll. I'd recommend the first then the latter once you have a start
