Here's an idea for you. Study the 12 animals of chinese zodiac and make a if they were people video. ENTJ

[@briannaharris3856]

That's one of your best videos! Definitely among my top 3 favorites!

[@jellymuffon]

i didn't even know that was a thing

[@P7-kq8pg]

The true writer's block is the ideas we karate chopped along the way

[@jellymuffon]

REAL

[@joshuapearson9950]

This internal monologue being visualized is too relatable 🤣

[@sutash9043]

Oh gosh, a bit too much! 😓

[@elliotschnabel8364]

Something tells me Frank has been struggling with writer's block. Just call it a hunch.

[@cellgrrl]

It seems he has covered everything already. He needs "Part 2" of his biggest hits or turn them into soap operas.

[@JuniperWhiskeytart]

I'm here for soap operas! ​@@cellgrrl

[@kajjensen8377]

Yes!!!

[@evasagira1011]

'It's just you' The biggest plot twist 😂

[@cosminandrei101]

Next one will be called " Doctor's appointment "

[@FrankJames]

LOL

[@harrisonlynch4701]

16 personalities going to a doctor’s appointment could be fun

[@planetoii]

We already had that. Well, in the waiting room.

[@ameliauschmid6558]

As a fiction writer, this is super accurate and hilarious. And it took me a long time to realize writer's block was just me 😂

[@kyliemoon-w7y]

i still havent realized it

[@natalya793]

We need a sequel when several ideas attack you at the same time :D

[@niloo_in_blue]

And you don't know which one to write because they're all good... so you'll end up writing none of them :|

[@natalya793]

@fettuccine_anderhummel 100%. Exactly. Especially if inspiration suddenly leaves the chat.

[@tb6303]

Ah, the overabundance of plot bunnies! Good idea

[@BloodzNighter]

Frank will never run out of ideas lol

[@matityaloran9157]

Not as long as he has abstract concepts to anthropomorphize

[@SarahMichelle777]

Frank’s getting pretty good at putting on eye makeup 😂

[@DavidPlass]

He's like a chameleon. Between that and the awesome mustache you could hardly tell it was the same person.

[@trinaq]

What a great "Fight Club" style twist. Writer's Block was never real, we were our own worst enemy all along!

[@trinaq]

"I am... Not good enough!" That sums up my self doubt in a nutshell.

[@kalevthewalrus44]

1:42 *EPIC PLOT TWIST*

[@Chigger]

The bewilderment at there being no one else in the room is pretty much how we feel when we remember you do these videos with yourself as pretty much the only actor.

[@AdorableOracle]

This is strangely taking me away from my own writing :) but so worth it! The long pause jokes will always make ....... Anyway, great job FJ, very meta and I always love when you post. Inspiration and Idea are beautiful, I love that you made them that way.

[@TheStrawberrySnake]

How does Frank have such great chemistry with himself 😂

[@thecozyconstellation]

i love how the Writer's Block is an aggressive handlebar-mustached tank-top-wearing mulletted dude LOL ....and why is the girly inspiration so darn PRETTY!!!

[@gavindinsmoor8196]

You think Frank James, a man, is pretty as a girl even when he has stubble? I mean I'm not disagreeing or anything but I'm just acknowledging that that's kinda strange lol

[@LittleBlueClown]

Dang, as a writer, that ending really... Gave me inspiration, thanks! /JK but seriously, it makes for a good point! We can be our own worst enemies for sure. Also, FANTASTIC makeup job on Inspiration. She's beautiful.

[@meganleffingwell3437]

You never run out of ideas! (Even if Writer's Block chops them all) 🤣😂

[@annap3972]

The Inspiration's stunning eyes took me completely by surprise!! 😍

[@0mega717]

Amateur writer here. I’ve been trying to write my own stories since I was 13, and while I had one that lasted 3 years, it eventually stopped being fun because I over planned. Every other story I’ve tried to write has not lasted more than a couple months, and it’s gotten to the point where I’ve practically become addicted to writing down ideas for stories but never actually writing them. The document where I keep all of my ideas is well over 16 pages long, with everything from horror to fantasy to sci-fi concepts that are all missing that special something. With that being said, this is peak writer’s block interpretation.

[@kajjensen8377]

I didn’t know how much I needed this. Today.

[@Anna-Wintergirl]

If you have writer's block just write about writer's block!

[@gavindinsmoor8196]

You can't. As a writer I've tried that. You just end up writing "I am bored I am bored I am bored" like fifty times in a single google doc.

[@BombshElle_7]

Not Frank looking STUNNING in blue eye shadow 💅🏽

[@emilymatthews2990]

Slay queen! Slay!

[@HopeDragonbane]

that was an emotional rollercoaster

[@evelynjoy4466]

The fact that I'm watching this video instead of work on my novel

[@ClubENTP]

Writer's Block is my New favorite character! Most likely an ISTP lol 😂🤣

[@warriorcatkitty]

i think i've had writer's block for years at this point 😭

[@Josh_Wen]

As a fellow writer, I honestly didn’t see that twist coming, and I loved it. It reminds me of one of the most chilling episodes of Agents of Shield, with one of the best mental health plot twists I’ve seen.

[@tammy389]

I really needed this dopamine today. Thank you!

[@myst6197]

Loved the plot twist and the irony of how a video about writer's block chopping up all your ideas was a really great idea. Also, if you need ideas for future videos: - 16 personalities in an escape room - 16 personalities as presidential candidates - 16 personalities attempting humor

[@anonym6132]

why did my brain automatically add the word murder after attempted 😮 😅 I've watched one too many action kDrama

[@anonym6132]

However, I guess it could be quite entertaining watching me, an INFP who is as brave as a chicken and likes sitting indoor all day, by myself with my laptop, preferably surrounded by animals because they don't add to the noice inside my head (I don't have any pets of my own though), anyway where was I? I lost my train of thoughts there for a minute (when I should do sth it could last a lot longer). So where was I? A right,... attempting a murder... 😅 chances are high only I find it funny because I can imagine the situation vividely

[@lorenzorafael4600]

I feel like I’m watching a video about if a Writer’s Block was a person

[@stardate_2798.8]

Hahaha he's chopping everything down like wood ! But in the end inspiration was useful after all 😂

[@sydneycarton4106]

As a writer, this is 100% true. Every single time the idea is either bad or too good for me.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Like all those inspirational movies, he had it within him all along!😂 💜

[@FrankJames]

hahaha

[@imMittensKitten]

Gave me chills at the end there 😔 love it lol

[@Michael59197]

Yeah, that's how Frank writes video scripts.

[@dorolicious]

Just wanna say how good inspiration looks on you! ❤

[@FrankJames]

haha tanks

[@KatereenArt]

1:37 - such an expressive "huh" XD

[@mitochondria1065]

The moment when Frank reached his epiphany, he knew it would be a great idea, either way, this is actually motivating for writers like myself, it opens up a whole new world of introspection, thanks Frank!

[@ozywomandius2290]

OMG the French tuck 😂👌🏼

[@Taracinablue]

Inspiration is a whimsical being. She likes to appear when one is just about to shut off the computer for the night.

[@Katherinemeade820]

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the laughs!

[@DanaPAH]

Perfect video for NaNoWriMo.

[@feelstora3]

As a writer, I really appreciate this little plot-twist (and it's true) :D I remember when I had a big writer's block during the pandemic (almost throughout the whole pandemic). And I knew what was causing it but I couldn't do anything about it. In my case inspiration always brought great ideas but something was blocking them (but at least now I know what really happened ;D). And I do feel like, as a writer, you also need motivation along with the ability to put your ideas into writing rather than just having a concept.

[@fenn7]

Realizing that he was the problem actually solved the problem, great writing there :)

[@lauriemartin490]

Why do I feel like the Frank James Outro song is the greatest piece of music ever written? Thank goodness Writer's Block was on break that day. 🤣

[@FrankJames]

haha i will let my brother (who wrote and sang it) know

[@TheKisame808]

the writer in me feels so called out

[@tomjohnson4922]

as someone who writes both D&D campaigns amongst other stuff, this is why I normally use music when I write... I find it helps keep tall people with mullets and bad mustaches away

[@RosenRotInk]

I just love this. 🥰 As a fiction writer I feel this. My writer's block is called perfectionism and as an INFJ that's built into my operating system. When my perfectionism and I have a discussion again, I shut him up with "Done is better than perfect, so I have room for new ideas.". This doesn't always work, but it works more and more often.

[@JerrBaybEe]

"No, that wasn't--!" 🤣

[@IamIvana]

It would be fun to see 16 personalities as difficult customers

[@FrankJames]

ah interesting

[@shara-leeroberts]

The plot twist was out of this world, now that's true writing skills 😊❤❤❤

[@jessicakaul]

OK, as an INTP I have the problem of too many ideas to know what to do with. I finally narrow it down to one to start working on, and more keep coming to me till I'm enticed by a new idea. Miraculously last year I was able to actually finish and publish a book, but that was after many of these distractions. I wish I could share my ideas with other creative people to run with, but I've found that most artists find enjoyment/purpose (be it frustrating at times) in coming up with their own ideas.

[@ElizabethWalters-yk4ui]

you have trained me well. I still look for the personality types in your videos outside of the personality videos XD

[@Vinnyc6708]

Frank James IRL

[@amazingpurplegirl0903]

We are our own worst critics. I just don't remember being that violent to my ideas

[@RelliRelli2773]

The perfect video to watch after coming out of a work meeting just now about ideas for an event. Writers block conquered! Inspiration has struck!😅

[@JulesM434]

I fell out of my writing hobby due to a lack of inspiration, motivation, and self-confidence; Not to mention a sense of perfectionism and the need to nitpick my writing as I write. This sketch really helped put things into perspective for me.

[@cadancem2411]

I Love your videos!

[@miriamw.]

I literally gasped at how inspiration’s date ended. 😂 I really thought he was going to make it.

[@fictionlover695]

0:33 you have an amazing smile complementing your amazing comedic acting skills and creative skit ideas

[@nonexistent.2049]

THE PLOT, THE EMOTION

[@livingandthriving]

This reminds me of the time I tried to write a poem about how tricky writing can be... and I got writer's block. The irony was not lost on me.

[@arabellagladysmarie]

The “Writer’s block” character was so great!🤣😂😆

[@esthelleg7037]

The twist is both strangely heartwarming and existentially terrifying.

[@AnnaGealach]

"I'm only here with this guy just for another 7 seconds." And that's the reason why I write down all my ideas because my brain make them disappear as fast as it presented them to me. 😂

[@josephmiraglia6329]

Thank you for making a video about this! This is actually what it feels like lol!!

[@Lo-rosie77]

This happens to me ALLLL the time!! 😅😅

[@reputationbarbie]

Inspiring! I'm going to go lie down and cry now. Thanks!

[@rami_ungar_writer]

Never seen writers block like that among my fellow writers.

[@moward301]

Frank, you put out every genius thought in your head, and I live for it! I laughed so hard my belly hurts 💯‼️🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@jadey4843]

I'm here just in love with that "Inspiration". She's so pretty 😁🤭

I love that in the end, writers block ultimately became the inspiration for this awesome video!! Great as always FJ 😊

I love it!!! Keep up Frank
