I…am feeling a little attacked. I don’t do moodboards, making playlists would just distract me from writing, I’m a total packrat and never scrap anything completely, and I have too many words in my head for the other two. The rest….😳🤣😳🤣😳🤣 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Hey #writingcommunity! We hosted a 'Writer's Block Bingo Card' on the Discord recently, now we're sharing it with you! How many of these can you tick off? 😱 What are your general thoughts/feelings toward blocks and burnout? #amwriting #writesky

A bingo card (titled 'Writer's Block Bingo Card' with 16 boxes. Here are the sixteen boxes (from left to right, 4 in a row, row by row)

1. stared at the same sentence for 30+ minutes
2. opened your doc only to immediately close it again
3. forgot how to write (no, like, seriously)
4. plotted an entirely new story instead of continuing your existing project
5. felt nothing toward a project you once loved
6. felt guilty for not writing even though you needed the break
7. wondered if you should quit writing altogether 
8. scrapped an entire project
9. scheduled a real break to avoid burning out
10. wrote just a little, and realized it still counted
11. did something creative to ‘refill the well’
12. said you’ll try again tomorrow - and DID!
13. treated yourself kindly about not writing
14. read something that reminded you why you love telling stories
15. wrote with no expectations to be perfect
16. made a playlist or moodboard to re-connect with your story 

AT the bottom of the card is an invite link to the WB discord server: discord.gg/writingcommunity

Well, this was a fun one! I don't really make moodboards or playlists for any particular reason, and I never really feel guilt for not writing because I don't take it *too* seriously. 🤔 Definitely had projects I started to hate though, and considered quitting more than one. #writingcommunity

Day 26 #FFYW The MC has been in denial about her new home. Supernatural things have been happening on the property, & she finally gets the courage to ask the groundskeeper about the history of the house and grounds her husband inherited. #amwriting #writingcommunity #bvm
