What's going on right now... · 1:28am Feb 14th, 2014
So, I'm just getting into my second semester of High School. We're supposed to be hitting three weeks as of tomorrow, but we've only been to school 8 days. So, I try and write whenever I can, but its difficult. I'll try and do some more when I can, but updates will be slow.
Hmm... I got an idea that might help you.
Organize your days or weeks. Set aside some time everyday for you to work on your writing projects. I would advise something more towards the evening hours before you go to bed. Devote like at least an hour or so of writing.
You can work on it during the day if by jotting down any ideas that come to your mind - for new projects or ideas for existing ones. Sticky notes are great, a note app for the phone works, texting or emailing ideas to yourself works too.
I know scheduling sounds boring and annoying, but it really does help keep your day straight, your stress low, and lets you complete a lot of what you want done.

That's a whole new ball game in which there are many different ways to play.
Some people just force themselves to write (which is like forcing a fart, it usually comes out as shit). Others read books, watch movies, do what they can to distract themselves from writing and then re-approach it. Some do writing promps and write their thoughts down.
You'll get over it, you just need to find the way that works for you. I'd do some Google searches, ask some people you know on FiMFiction, and since you are still in high school, I'd ask a English teacher about overcoming writer's block.

I would write so many stories about depression, using my OC in place of me. But, I drew inspiration from the pain, like Van Gogh. Haven't really been inspired for some time
