@vauseheart I try to make time to write the book first and find a quiet place to write but mostly sometimes watching/reading what you're making a fic of first does help and give you motivation to write and what to do with your character in a given scene
@vauseheart if it’s a fanfiction I just watch the movie/show in the background with the chapter open and actually make myself write <3 or if I can’t find anything to say I read an unrelated book or poetry that makes me want to write my own!
