Hello jay! Hope you are doing well. I just wanted to ask you about your writing process. I've been trying to get back into writing after taking a break for a few years but I feel like I'm stuck :/
What do you usually do when things aren't moving forward? Have a nice day :)

my writing process is really oddly organised and i think it's quite different from most writers so this might not help you 😭 i outline basically all of my fics so i'll usually look at my outline and try rearranging certain scenes to see if that makes the fic flow better. somtimes i just delete the scene i was working on entirely and rewrite it, to see if the words will flow better a second time around. i think it's also helpful to switch between wips every now and then so you're not exhausting yourself on the same ideas again and again. don't force yourself!
