how to write when ur stuck...a different type of writer's block ˙ᵕ˙ (writing w/imposter syndrome)

[@reezers101]

I've also been stuck with writing, like I have some good ideas, some current WIPs and yet I just can't bring myself to write. It's almost like feeling unmotivated to write, but then at the same time it doesn't feel like that. Kind of like my brain just shuts down when I try to write. Maybe I just need to sit and chill, marinate my mind. Maybe I just need a break. Thanks for the tips Ana!

[@eleniboudouri3074]

I am going through this right now I am finishing my first and best book and I can’t write cause I am afraid to finish if it’s my favourite and I have so much going on in my life. I really feel guilty so thanks for doing this video cause we all feel this way sometimes

[@laetitiamckenna]

Is it possible for you to indicate/write a sequel? Then the ending doesn't have to feel so final ☺ It's always scary to finish working on something you invested time and care in, but remember you can reach out to it again whenever you want!

[@moon_books48]

I've been feeling a lot down lately, specially about my book, I've pretty much planned everything it's just some of the insecurities that still persist somewhere in the forefront of my mind. I just want someone to rant these ideas about. Thanks by the way, your videos have always been my favourite. Love you so much ,😭🤎

I relate to the part about the book not meeting the expectations or having the same vibe that I built up in my head. The scenes come out differently when I wanted something else.

[@MariJadeWrites]

Thank you, this helps :) I took a long break from writing, and now slowly trying to get back into it.

[@you-fu6hl]

2:10 you just read my mind 😭thank you so much for this episode ana, it was so comforting hearing your experiences and tips 🤍

[@dawniesart5]

Very much feeling this currently, and have been since last summer. Hopefully when uni finishes I’ll be able to actually dedicate more energy to my next novel because there have been ideas I’ve been excited about (including a pirate series that I’m dying to do) but I was burnout by essays and other things. Praying for this summer ngl 🙏

[@taimani2707]

I just found your channel and it's really comforting - I love writing, but we aren't machines - it's good to know I'm not the only one and that we can all push through writers block!!! ❤❤❤

[@taimani2707]

also off topic but ur so cute!!! 🧚💖

[@shimmer410-o2i]

Don't worry your message was conveyed loud and clear. I get that too where I really want to work on my story but suddenly the characters just all seem boring and I literally don't know where to go next from there. Even though I'm not a professional writer I compare myself to other writers even when I'm not even planning to publish it,when I should. Also I really relate to the see why you're writing part. Not just the story but if you have other stories read the other stories that you've finished or at least parts of it so it reminds you of when you were really passionate about a story and you were able to finish it.

[@AuthenticStories]

Very helpful video! thank you!

[@moon_books48]

First today💜..... I love your videos so much. Today was the day i was feeling so down and you posted a video just at the right moment. Thanks for all you do for us. I love you so much and thanks again, for all the motivation you've instilled into me and I'm sure in so many of your viewers. You're the best Ana! 🥺🤎✨🧿

[@1uvinghim]

hey ana! this video really made me think bc rn im stuck in a project that i actually finished, and i'm now editing and all but i don't feel as connected to it as before... so this video/podcast ep came in the right moment, thank you sm

[@writingitright]

Haven’t even watched the video yet, but this timing is perfect! I just finished a really intense scene that is kind of meant to be the burst into act II. Now the pacing is really slow, and I don’t really know what to do with it. Thank you for this discussion; I think it’s something all writers have experienced at least once.

[@jay2804]

i hope you are doing alright ana! its always okay to take a break from writing :)

[@TiaLove28]

i feel this way while i'm in the plotting phase. i feel a bit burnt out just trying to figure things out

[@OwlHouseFan9721]

Honestly same, it’s a big struggle of mine to create stuff for a story out of nothing, I haven’t started writing yet but I’m starting to create my own story which I hope to turn into a series. So far Im only at the start since I’ve just started and had decided to first do the magic system. I dunno though, still watching a ton of writing advice on YT though. (Literally how I came across this channel and I’m glad for that 🙃)

[@starwing2814]

I feel the same way too

[@arzumardalieva3874]

I’m grateful 🙏🏻 I love your videos! Very helpful!

[@SecretlyADino]

i thought this was only me 😭 i’m so glad to hear more professional writers get this too 💔❤️‍🩹⭐️

[@rowenafortuin7918]

Can totally relate❤ I'm still busy with research for my WIP and the writing part terrifies me because I'm afraid I'll mess it up.

[@AnnaOnyshchak]

All of people in comments writes about the same topic, but I just need to say this... I really love your makeup style...😢

[@alexeybagirov6635]

I have whole characters biographies in my mind but i hate writing them down

[@starwing2814]

I'm still in the planning phase 🥺. I don't know what path to choose for my story. I'm always overthinking. I think I'm scared to choose an idea and stick with it because I'm scared of settling for less. The story that's in my head is different than what has come out in the outline.

[@carolinepolster1937]

I love your videos!!!

[@Writtenbytomie_1]

[@Writtenbytomie_1]

[@retrotomato]

Lol Ana’s calling me out 😂 but I’ve been feeling this uh slump? For the past few weeks like I’m pumped for the 3 books I’m writing but just don’t want to, maybe it’s because I’m afraid i don’t want them to be over, not sure maybe because it’s almost summer? I’m not sure but I hope to get out of this slump thing…I don’t have any problems just don’t want to 😂 taking the break been helping

[@jenny_vlogs9935]

I just started to plot my first book and I just can't get further in plotting. Like, I know what I want to do but I just can't place black on white, and that's really annoying

[@maliahjoy2959]

I understand. Its fear.

[@ritikalovesreadingg]

Hi i wanted to tell you this that you inspired me to write stories! i really want adviise on my first chapter and would love if you read it will you?

[@CreativeSoul101]

Hey what do u do when your figuring out small things in a story that lead it to plot and emotional bulid up of the characters?

[@eyezerocool]

I am literally stuck on 40 different projects.

[@hayleylucas5322]

You would make a very enticing main character I think☺️

[@Guinevere1182]

random question, do you still rainbow loom?

[@HahaGirly1212]

I have well over thirty ideas stored in a doc, two that I am working on, one that I am sort of working on and no matter what I do I want to explore more. My first novel was quite the breeze, one project, one focus, it will be out soon but now I love all my ideas and I want more! So I have all these ideas in a doc that I wanna write but if I start more than two I get freaked out. I have been really in love with a sci fi movie but I don’t want to ya know copy it, I would love to pull inspiration from it but it is so fleshed out I feel illegal doing that. This is interfering with my other projects and I wanna cry when I open my docs!😢

[@mei-does-things]

Hi Ana! :)

[@edenalexandriab9120]

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die". BUT, mercy said "I dont want to give them what they deserve. I don't want them to be cut off from Me. I love them despite all they have done/will do against Me. I want to give My children another chance. I want them to come home and live in My love again". And love said "Jesus, God's Son, came down as a Man, our representative, suffering every temptation, pain and struggle we have ever faced, yet without sin. He took all our sins (past/present/ even future) to the cross and then crucified EVERY ONE on our behalf. Justice was paid on the cross so that we can be free from Hell's punishment, experience Gods mercy of forgiveness of sin and live in His love. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (turn away from our sin and pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to obey His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, or struggling or doubtful, simply be honest and tell Him that. He is not intimidated by ANY sin or struggle you are facing. ANY. He hears and will answer. If we pray for Him to come in, regardless of the condition, then He will. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. If you have any questions let me know X
