I'm not dead!
Just really tired from work!
Still working on Legend of Trixie! And that OTHER THING!
The OTHER THING is fun!
Haha but no seriously, I've been deep in a depressive funk this whole month, not helped by the fact that I had to scrap a 3k word draft of the next Trixie update because it did dumb things using my dumb smooth brain. There are days I stare at a blank screen and just scream "DO SOMETHING YOU FOOL" over and over again.
No. I don't know how I can capitalize my screaming without using an exclamation mark. It's uncanny.
Oh well. October (the second best month ever) is starting soon. Happy Halloween seas...
FUCK.
I meant to do a Halloween special this year. One involving Anarchy characters. How the hell am I gonna fit that one in?
Siiiiiiiiiiiigh...

By working on that to get the creative juices flowing again.

One thing that helps me is talking with myself. You don't have to speak out loud, but have a conversation with yourself. Maybe even talk with your favorite pone (I like to do it with Pinkie Pie) and imagine how they would respond. I know it sounds crazy, but it really helps to organize your thoughts.
Before you say that I've posted zero stories, I'm speaking from experience in writing a crap ton of essays for school, but it definitely works with creative pieces, too. I've also used this method with writing quite a few poems.

Oh, I wasn’t gonna say anything about zero stories. I was gonna say I actually do talk to myself a lot. Like, a worrying amount. It’s not planning or plotting I have issues with (far from it, my stories tend to pop fully formed into my head), it’s getting the time and motivation to put ink to page.
Sometimes, work can kick the stuffing outta ya.

I can certainly sympathize with that. I have about 10 great stories that have never made it to paper (digital or otherwise). However, I think I'll finally write one to motivate both you and me. Y'know, kinda like a "We're both doing it!" kind of thing.
