Did I make this secret in my sleep? Because SAME.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you, OP. It sucks.

I really think as a society we haven't come close to reckoning with the effects of the pandemic.

[(Anonymous)]

That sucks, I'm sorry OP. :( head-stories to sleep are one of my favourite things to do and really help me sleep, I'd hate to lose that.

I feel bad that as a healthcare worker introvert my life didn't change at all except wear a mask when I go to the store. :/

[(Anonymous)]

I can relate, OP. I wish I had some advice for you, but... well, I don't think you're alone in this.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm one of two people I know who has been writing through the pandemic. And I haven't been writing much tbh, just grinding the words out to stay in practice; the friend who writes is in love with a new fandom and has the new-fandom energy.

[(Anonymous)]

You know, a lot of really terrible things have happened in the past few years and are still happening (if Billy Joel updated We Didn't Start the Fire, he could use the last five years and end up with, like, 89 verses). And the stresses are going to affect people - creativity, mood, mental health, physical health, relationships, etc. It sucks. And there's no surefire method to help because everyone reacts to things differently. I'm struggling myself - I can still come up with scenarios, but I can't seem to get myself to actually write anything down. I have no good advice, except maybe be patient with yourself and treat yourself with kindness. Think of it like an injury to your psyche that might take a while to heal - stretch it out if you think it might help, but baby it if that works better.

Oh man, I feel this. At first I didn't think losing my job was such a bad thing since I'd finally have the free time to work on my novel, but it's been almost six months and I haven't even written half a chapter because I just can't string words together. I miss being able to write and I'm so mad that I finally have all the time in the world to be able to do so and I just... can't.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the same OP.
I want to write, I feel it will help but I just can't get any inspiration. I love the feeling when I'm really getting into a new story (and eat, breathe and sleep the story).
I'm a healthcare worker who's currently in lockdown and on week one of two weeks of annual leave. (I booked it before we went back into lockdown). I'm bored and lonely and really need to write. I wish I had the inspiration.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so sorry, OP. That's horrible. The pandemic killed off my creativity too. I got to work from home and thought I'd have more time to work on my fics, but working from home was horrible and the work never seemed to end. I spent so much time on the computer that I got sick of it and never had the energy to work on any writing.

I'm doing a bit better this year. I got into a new fandom and found a new pairing, so that rekindled my interest in writing fic, but the quality of my writing definitely went downhill after not writing for over a year. That was pretty disheartening, but I'm trying to stay positive about it because at least I'm trying.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. As a healthcare worker I get more work and random bouts of terror instead! Hooray. At least I live in an area where the vaccination rate is high and climbing - I have not yet met a single anti-vaxxer locally.

[(Anonymous)]

this may sound strange, but have you tried roleplaying? i find it much easier to create scenarios and stories when i only have to worry about my own character and if i run out of creative juice whatever happens next session gives me plenty of fodder for new stuff

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh man, yeah, I've struggled with this too at times. Basically had to force myself to do anything. Hope you get it back at some point, OP. <3

Hahaha omg yes. It's very artificial lol. I did wonder for a while if maybe it was actually something people did in China. It makes more sense as a cheesy Cdrama thing though, like the blood capsules lol.

I couldn’t care less about supernatural but all the supernatural fans I know are wincest shippers and adored the ending 🤷🏻‍♀️ just depends where you were looking I guess
