Hiya! I love your blog it's absolutely amazing. I'm an aspiring author and I was wondering.. How do you overcome writers block?

Hello there, writerly friend~

I have to be straight-forward with you, because I need to be honest right now. This is the sort of question that I have difficulty answering… because every time I try to tackle this very (very) general and vague question I end up writing something that’s a little too meta and I become afraid of what people will think of me.

Daily Story Seed

Explore the point of view of this character as they overhear the retelling of a particular legend, and realize that they got it all wrong.

not-so-simple-minded:

THIS GUY WAS SO GREAT

This guy was seriously one of the best parts of Fanime 2015! He was literally going from fandom to fandom improving on his material. When ladykittylynn and I ran into him in our Dangan Ronpa cosplay he went off into “Oxy clean is a Super High School-Level stain remover!”

Welcome back to ‘Max Plays’, a gaming segment where I play through a story-focused video game and examine the way that it builds a narrative. This time around I am playing through a big one! None other than Square’s finest: Final Fantasy IX.
