Try writing something that makes you happy? And that might give you the groove back of making other people happy?

The gift-giving impulse is great -- most of the fics I write are for specific people or prompts -- but not if it knotting you up. I agree with the advice you were give upthread, to write some stuff for yourself for a bit and ease off on your self-imposed pressure to deliver to others.

I understand this feel all too well. Writing in my therapy and my joy and I love writing for other people. When my mental state pulls the rug from underneath me, I can only stare at the blank documents or, I have before, erased pages of work because my mind told me that everything was trash and I should stop.

*hugs* I hope things get better for you soon.

Some of us need to write for US, not what someone asks for! Take care of yourself first. Fandom can wait. Write if it helps, don't if it doesn't.

I get that, but sometimes the pressure of not wanting to let people down can be a devastating cause of writer's block. Not committing to things while you're not sure you can finish is the best for everyone, including yourself. Take a break, read some books, and write something for yourself sometime!

I feel similarly. My brain is a fucking disaster so I can't work on my longfic as often as I'd like. Going to a cafe to write helps somewhat, especially since the one I go to doesn't have wifi.
