The last time writing was this hard.

Looking for solutions, ya'll. Feed me your energy!

I read somewhere that changing your font to Comic Sans inexplicably helps people write.

Try writing after being awake for far too long, you may not completely understand what you wrote later on, but it helps when you effectively block yourself by overthinking something. Sadly, it doesn't keep you from overthinking if what you wrote was good or not. I don't really advise this, it sort of works, but when I tried it, I scrapped what I wrote, but I had a slightly better idea of what NOT to do. Messed up my sleep schedule a bit too.

You could try doing like a psychic automatic writing thing with your keyboard. Clear your mind as much as possible and just start typing whatever, try and clear out the blockage. Maybe the output with be amusing, revealing, or even... prophetic? Like, don't even try to write anything in particular, just get those writing muscles moving on whatever. Get it moving and see if that helps clear it up. Get what I mean?

Could try the aperture science route, pick something u noe but haven’t written anything about and just throw stuff at the wall till it works.

I don't know if this would work (not a writer) but perhaps looking through other people's premises and see if you find something interesting?

Get one of those sun lamps. It's the start of fall and if you're having issues with motivation you might just need more light. (Yes, this sounds stupid, but it's one of the more effective treatments for SAD type depression flare-ups... no idea if you have that or not, but it's my solution...). Another way is to write the most self indulgent fiction possible and ignore if you think the quality is terrible. Just writing as stress relief, basically.

Do something completely different maybe? Try noodling at something entirely original. Where you don't have to worry about preexisting canon or anything other than what you brain wants to put down next.

Sorry, ya'll, for not replying to all your suggestions. Its just hard to get the energy to do so...man, I'm depressed. Staying inside the house for...uh...how long has this Pandemic been going? Well, a while. Its hitting me, man.

But I appreciate you all. Thank you. And I'm certainly going to try doing some of these things. Anything sounds good about now!
