an essential part of finding any enjoyment in late seasons supernatural is imagining early seasons sam dean or even john reacting to what the actual fuck is going on

10. When you are trying to think of the perfect word thats right at the tip of your tongue. (Its worse when you loose the word all together)
This one is at number 10 because it is horrible, but you are still mentally active and not ready to cry yourself to sleep. Though it stinks!
Solution:
Think of a similar word, usually the second one on your mind and look for synonyms on google or other sources. The word you’re looking for or a better one may come up. If not than either choose one of the options or look for synonyms of another similar word.
9. When you write something that may not be correct so you research the topic for an hour. (I’m not talking about the big stuff you should have looked into before you started writing, exp: cultures, I mean basically meaningless stuff)
This has happened to me twice (once about horses and once about how to grill a pig) It’s second on the list because it takes up more time than the first one and it’s annoying. But usually not demotivating.
Solution:
Do not do it.
8. When you read an article or watch a video about writing and realize you have been doing it wrong the entire time.
Do I have to explain?
Solution:
Take in the advice if you like it and continue on with your book using the advice but do not go back and change what you have already written. Leave that to your editor self.
7. When you are irresolute (look it up) because of a family/friend. colleague/ exd’s opinion. (I mean they talk down at you for being a writer, or something similar)
This is hard on our feelings box and/or heartbreaking. But this list is mostly my opinions and since I haven’t felt the crush of this fully, its higher. I am sorry for those who have been hurt.
Solution:
Don’t listen to them! In fact, let it fuel you. Show them who can do what! Or who can be successful! You can do anything!
6. When you feel overwhelmed. This may be because you can’t make yourself forget that you have so much to do before finishing the book. Maybe your busy.
The editing, marketing, and paying are what overwhelm me. The writing phase is not particularly easy, but it was less stressful for myself. It may not be the case for you. You may still have chapters to finish, a world to build, characters to create. It could be very stressful.
Solution:
Make it fun! Make it a game and your going through the levels. Once your done creating your world and characters, you can finally write! The thing you have been waiting for months!
Remember, you are building your world. Enjoy every moment of it. Because one day, you will finish your book or series and you have to say goodbye to your baby and creation. Enjoy it while it lasts!
5. Losing motivation to write.
Are you surprised this is only half way down the list? I’m not. Even though this is horrible, it’s not the worst thing. There are simple solutions.
Solution:
It may be different for everyone but here’s a few ideas that are good for me.
1.Start writing. Yep. If you just write, that motivation will soon come back. (This works best if you are very familiar with your characters)
2. Look back through your notes and future plans. Get excited, again, for your book or series.
3.Watch videos and read articles about writing 😉, they can help you get through the problem or just be fun.
4. Remind yourself why you want to write and why writings fun. its different for everyone but reading is an example.
5. Sleep, be healthy, socialize, get sunlight and fresh air, exercise. These can clear your mind, get you in a good mood and helps your overall day.
4. When you realize your dialog sucks or unnatural.
This may not be as bad as some of the others I already mentioned, but dialog can help or ruin a book. Dialog can spark ideas of character development, relationships, sub-plots, or even how to continue the overarching plot. But if you do it wrong, it can take forever to fix.
3. When you are stuck. You want to write but you can’t think of anything. I like to call this Writer’s Traffic instead of Writer's block.
This is one of the worst case of scenarios for me as a writer because I want to write but instead I am staring at a computer screen.
Solution:
Skip the scene. Skip the next few lines. Leave a note for yourself so you can come back to it at a better time.
2. When you realize you don’t know your characters enough.
It’s hard to admit, but when your character is inconsistent and its not part of their personality then you have a problem. You may even have to rewrite most of your book if you’re far in. If you don’t know your characters and your on chapter 4 then stop now and save yourself.
Solution:
Do character questionnaires, explain anything important in their past. Anything traumatic they have experienced, their personality, how they would react in a certain situation. It’s really important to know their background (Note: You need to know, not your readers unless necessary)
Link to a character questionnaires. https://www.writerswrite.co.za/prousts-questionnaire-35-questions-every-character-should-answer/ also they got some awesome writing advice!
1.DUN DUN DUN!THE LAST ONE! When your writing (or lack of) has an effect on you daily life and you feel absolutely miserable.
You would be surprised how often this happened to me, It’s almost like a heavy depressed feeling that makes it painful to basically do anything.
Maybe it’s outside writing that makes you feel this way but you just can’t write. Everything is dull and grim, your head hurts or you have no motivation to do anything.
You just can’t.
Solution:
Use your miserableness as a motivation. You want to get rid of it, right? Then you must do what helps. Here’s a few tricks.
1. Drink water. Perhaps your dehydrated.
2. Exercise. This one is really helpful on more than your emotions. Do this before considering taking a nap, because naps can make it worse.
3. Go to bed earlier. If your like me than your nocturnal but if you simply go to bed at 10 then you will feel much better in the morning. I suggest reading or doing something other than look at a screen before going to bed. Screens can make it troublesome to fall asleep.
4. Socializing. You may be awkward but at least you have a mother? A father? Grandparents? A best friend? Siblings? Random people online? Anyone who can distract you, and make you feel better. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a pleasant conversation, just one that won’t bring you down. Socializing can make you feel so much better.
5. Get a horrible beta reader. (this is a joke…kind of) A beta reader is a person who reads your book or a chapter and gives feedback. A good beta reader is honest and gives praise and criticism. This is what I meant for a bad beta reader. Someone who you trust who will probably be scared to hurt your feelings. Even though it might not be true, positive feedback will help.
That is all I have! I hoped you enjoyed! Have a Fantastic day! I will be posting again soon!
I don't think that we should hold Sam and Dean accountable for everyone of their actions. For the ones that are in character? Yes. But the ones that the writers threw in their for drama or cause they didn't even start to understand them? No.
Sam abandoning Dean in purgatory- NOPE, that wasn't Sam. That was fake Sam.
The Sam we know would have went absolutely feral, even more than usual because this time, he doesn't actually know what happened to his brother. He would've went crazy. He ran over dog? Okay, that'll distract him for a week or two but then he'd be back on the road. He met a woman who he likes and has a chance to be with her (and maybe start a normal life?), it'd tempt him for a solid second then he'd remember how both Kevin and Dean are missing/gone and then he'd run away. (When Dean 'All I want is my brother to be happy' Winchester finally got back from Purgatory, he would actually be pissed that Sam didn't take the opportunity to have a normal life) In season 8, Sam 'I'm actually insane' Winchester would have killed a person to save his brother like the icon he is.
Dean killing Amy after Sam asked him not to- Never happened. Why? Cause Dean 'the empath of the family' Winchester, who's been the moral compass of the show for the last three seasons, knows what it's like to have a kid and would have totally let her go. He might have gone to her house with a plan to kill her, but he would have heard her out at least. Dean actually listens and empathizes with people all the time. Why would this specific instance be any different? (Duh, for the drama, obviously)
Dean believing Gadreel at all- Hmmmmm, Dean 'never trusted any angel ever (except Cas)' Winchester would've taken the deal at first out of pure desperation because Sam was literally dying. But after Gadreel asked Dean to lie to Sam , Dean's bullshit senses would've went up. He is great at recognizing BS and he would've recognized it here.
Sam irrationally hating Benny- Do I even need to start? Sam might not be the most empathetic but he's smart enough to at least look into Benny instead of automatically declare Dean as delusion, and not listen to him, at all. He knows his brother enough to know that he wouldn't just trust someone willy nilly, especially a vampire.
It’s trans day of visibility so like, look at him! 🏳️⚧️
my explanation why felix wasn't in london special. he was preparing for party.
ps: i also wanted to see a comic.
This is so pretty. Well done ❤️
when we were kids, we would play just like this,
and our moms would call us in for dinner.
but no one calls us anymore.
“the thing about dean is” if you are not objectively correct within the next 5-7 words i am simply not reading all that
I found a new thing that absolutely gets on my nerves.
I was scrolling through the Alastor Aroace tag as you do and I keep seeing people say things like, 'if he's Aroace then why so fruity' or 'how can he be Aroace if he acts like this' referencing to the fact that he is eccentric and silly.
All I can think is, um, why is that important, like at all? I was already annoyed by the fact that people just say someone is gay simply because they act a certain way, that is both offensive to gay people and puts people in boxes, but now it's grown to be more than a frustration.
I mean, do people not see how freaking offensive that is? And it seems as if it's genuine sometimes and even if it's not it's not a funny joke.
What do you mean you don't think he can't be Aroace cause he kicks his feet and drops his wrist? That has nothing to do with sexual or romantic orientation! It's so... It makes me feel like him being Aroace is just a joke to them. That it's more of a silly note the author made than real representation.
Do these people not realize we can see things and that we exist? That, maybe, not every character you find fun and attractive is a gay man?
I just saw a Tiktok where it's like, 'I think he wants a man,' to that one scene of kicking his feet and it pissed me off.
Anyways, I just needed to say that.
