I Need Your Help! · 9:33pm Jun 19th, 2014
Alright, I've been trying to write the next chapter to She Loves Me Not over the past week, and I just can't do it. I'm facing some extreme writer's block. Part of the reason is because the story was originally supposed to be a one shot, but then I just posted it to the site when I became too impatient to finish it. But I also haven't been able to write any chapters for any of my stories because my stupid brain is deciding that it wants to continue being stupid.
That's where y'all come in.
I need you to throw your ideas at me. Literally. Throw them hard. Aim for the soft spots. What do you want to see in the next chapter of She Loves Me Not? What would be funny? What would be cute? They can be any ideas, whether it's a line of dialogue, or a major plot development, or something to make everyone go "d'aw!" Just comment here with your ideas and I'll take the ones I like and add them to my own for chapter two.
Oh, and also if you have any exercises to help me deal with my writers block, I'd love to hear those as well.
You could create an OC that shows interest in Daisy and follows her around in the hopes of catching her eye with a jealousy complex that comes into play later on in the story. Also can i assume that you just wanted to start early on but are okay with moving through Season 1
This is what I usually do when I have writer's block:
When you're not just blocked, when you're stonewalled, try freewriting. Sit down for ten minutes and write down everything you can think of about your topic. The object is to write without stopping for the whole ten minutes. If you can't think of anything to say, write "blah, blah, blah" over and over. If other things occur to you as you write, go ahead and record them, even if they are not directly related to your topic. These distractions may be part of what is keeping you blocked.
Freewriting is good for uncovering ideas--it's a good way to nudge "inspiration." But the main purpose of freewriting is to get you moving! Most of what you write in those ten minutes will go in the recycling bin, but you'll be warmed up and your serious writing should go more smoothly.
Brainstorming resembles freewriting but is more goal-directed. You start not only with a topic, say PROFS, but also with a goal: What do new users need to know about this system? Then allow yourself to jot down ideas for a set amount of time without censoring any possibilities and without striving for perfect prose. When the "storm" has passed, you can rearrange ideas, put thoughts into complete sentences, edit, and polish.
2219926 Well this is definitely a DaisyxTwilight story. I don't think introducing the another character is the way to go. Thank you for your input though
thinking about all possibilities is important to the brainstorming process.
2219962 Thank you for the tips
I'm gonna try that free writing thing the next time I have ten minutes.
2220013 No problem. I'm always happy to help!
Daisy confronts Twilight about her feelings, but Twi storms off in panic mode immediately after that. Daisy thinks that Twilight doesn't really like her at all, and gets depressed. She ends up doing something she never thought she'd do: drinking with Berry Punch.
It turns out that, actually, Twilight realised she was scared of somepony having feelings for her, because she didn't know anything about stuff like that. With her mind working, she immediately set off to the library in order to read books about dating. She considers dating Daisy as an experiment to learn something new, and doesn't really understand a romantic relationship.
Twilight initially approaches Daisy without any emotions, her scientific mind is too excited about the prospects of learning something new. However... (and that's where you come in again...)

What this guy said.
Also.
"When Daisy finds out about Zecora, the Cutie Mark Crusaders aren't the only ones who make a love potion!"
"When Daisy hears about that Ticket to the Gala, she's hell bent on going with Twilight to have her dream date!"
"When Daisy hears Twilight got caught up with Diamond Dogs thanks to Rarity, it's up to Daisy to save her, and by save her, I mean scare the living hell out of the Diamond Dogs."
"Daisy hears Twilight shower Mare Do Well with praises around Rainbow Dash, the only logical conclusion is to kill the current Mare Do Well, take her place, and have a rescue romance with Twilight."
"Daisy tries to get Derpy to mail a love letter to Twilight, accidentally sends it to Luna somehow, Luna accepts Daisy's feelings out of desperately wanting to be accepting by anyone. Daisy freaks."
"When Daisy gets Discorded, she's hellbent on killing Twilight."
Off the top of my head.
2220013 Your not the only one that thinks that if the down vote means anything. You could go into detail about what her house is like, I imagine if she lives on her own she has a spot made on the top of her house where she can easily see the library from with a few pictures there and that her room is filled with a list of what she does, where she does it and where the best spot to hide is to view that activity. She also has probably spied on the various picnics that Twilight has had with her friends, stalk... I mean followed her during the winter wrap up, might have talk with the rest of the Mane Six about what her likes and dislikes are, maybe left some notes or something on the door step that Spike gets to first and hides/burns them, which may lead one of the other princesses getting involved. Don't know how many of those you can rightfully use but those are some of the things I can think of that don't involve directly introducing another character to the story, going off of how you used Roseluck for the story. Hope this hasn't wasted yours or anyone else's time.
Daisy asking Zecora for a love potion Twilight finding out and then the big confrontation
Just go with more basic
stalkingobserving tools, such as night-vision goggles and actual bona fide camouflage rather than having Daisy hide behind something with her tail sticking out (unless you turn it into a hilarious running gag)2220032 Imagine her trying to assassinate Trixie after the first Magic Duel
Super stalking. Nightvision goggles, catsuit, watch Twilight take a shower.
'Accidentally' crash into her and take a long smell of her mane.
do you remember my comment? if not then, Daisy: "I said I'm not stalking her, I only have a small ball of her mane clippings, one used tooth brush, a life size plushy of her, one room in my house dedicated to pictures of her and five of her baby teeth, so I'm obviously not obsessed with her or any thing, we're just meant to be together." I think that this would be funny but depending on where you want the story to go you might no want to use it. and don't force yourself to right if you're just not in the mood, remember quality over quantity. I just wrote all this from my PS3, it sucks for this.
Grenades, beautiful clusterfuck of grenades everywhere.
While continuing to stalk Twilight, Daisy sees that the mare she's so in love with has a conversation with Lily one day. She immediately takes it as a backstabbing, from both parties, and proceeds to have a little chat with Lily later on, to which the other pony doesn't have a clue of what she's being accused of.
Could be something along the lines of:
Daisy: "You're stealing her away from me!"
Lily: "What? Stealing who?"
Daisy: "Don't you play innocent with me! I know what you're up to!"
Just came to me.
Have Daisy go very slowly from incompetent stalker to incompetent suitor, possibly by accident (she stalks Twi, Twi needs help for something and Daisy is out of the bush before she knows what is going on). Then, have Twi think Daisy wants to be friends, totally missing the romantic intention. Chain into this :
2220025
At that point, you have two ponies with the romantic ability of a bomb crater filled with gravel trying to find out how that "relationship" thing works. Yadda, yadda, marriage, magical lesbian offspring, done!
I wanna see Twilight say something along the lines of, "BUCK OFF!!!"
Oh my. Responding to you all is gonna take some work. Well, here goes...
2220025 while I feel that Twilight turning to her books for love advice has been done many times, the idea of Daisy and Berry drinking together made me laugh out loud
Though on second thought, Twilight's reaction to romance may be hysterically similar to Sherlock's from the BBC show of the same name.
2220032 Those were just off the top of your head?
You must be a god at comedy improve. I particularly like the idea of Ditzy accidentally giving Luna the love letter.
2220035 Thinking about what Daisy's house might look like is fun. I imagine she would have a telescope aimed at the library, which she would have to explain when Twi saw it for the first time.
2220108 Unfortunately Daisy still thinks Zecora is a witch at this point in the season. Perhaps in later episodes though...
2220121 I wish I knew how to make a running gag. Most of my gags fall flat on their face.
2220182 Is that like regular stalking? Night vision goggles seem like a popular idea. Cat suits are hot. That last one is creepy, even by Daisy's standards.
2220436 Well it's becoming clear to me that I have to make a choice between taking the story down the extreme stalker path, or easing Daisy and Twilight into a serious relationship. I'm leaning more towards the latter right now. And on your PS3? Oh gawd. Please tell me you at least have a keyboard for it.
2220437 You're comments are the only ones that consistently confuse the **** out of me. I'm not sure whether to say good job or lay off the sugar.
2221016 I could totally see Daisy flipping out about something like that. Perhaps she begins to think that Twilight is growing just a little to close to one of her friends...
2221150 Magical lesbian offspring! Haha, oh s***, my gut, ow
This is the direction I'm leaning towards at the moment. I feel like Daisy's stalking would lose it's charm after a while. That, or Twilight would finally get a restraining order. Whichever came first 
2221182 The shortest comment, yet the one that makes me think the most. Well done.
2225770 Magical Lesbian Offspring or Magical Lesbian Spawn is the officially accepted term for that. I swear!
But yes, as grand champion of fluffy romance, I say no-skill romance would be adorable.
2220108 Love potions are a cliche. Not to mention kinda creepy, and so far it does not seem like Daisy to go that far.
2225807 to be fair, Daisy is a Creepy Stalker Lady so you never know
2225826 Naw, she is just a little misguided. She needs a little lesson in friendship and harmony. And as it happens, there is a certain expert on that around!
2225770 That's me.
If you want me to stop, I will 'spamming' your notifactions. You see, you're one of the few that can put up with my randomness. Lay off comments or by serious, tell me what you want.
2225770 nope, that was all with the controller. and I'm going to keep reading it no matter where you take it... as long as you don't decided to kill off everypony...
2225770
Thanks dude.
2225770 Mission accomplished.
2225909 A LITTLE?
2225929 I think we could all use a little randomness in our lives
I won't ask you to stop, but you should know that I don't understand what your saying 98.7% of the time.
2227378 Yes sir, commander Genral corporal captain private sir.
