even if a girl putting up her long hair didn't also carry the Implication it's still one of the most crazyinsane fucking hot mundane little actions in the world watching her gather her hair back in her hands with a hair tie hanging out of her mouth and a few wispy little babyhairs clinging to her forehead and the sweat on the nape of her neck and her arms up and back with the pits showing and the gesture lifts her shirt up so you can see a little bit of her tummy and her fingers back there sightlessly pulling her ponytail together. i should get taken to the vet and put down

Just wanna check, what's your pronouns? :-) thank

How do you block a tag? I’m a dumbass and have spent like twenty mins trying to figure it out ?

Tips for Writing a Difficult Scene

Every writer inevitably gets to that scene that just doesn’t want to work. It doesn’t flow, no matter how hard you try. Well, here are some things to try to get out of that rut:

1. Change the weather

I know this doesn’t sound like it’ll make much of a difference, but trust me when I say it does.

Every single time I’ve tried this, it worked and the scene flowed magically.

2. Change the POV

If your book has multiple POV characters, it might be a good idea to switch the scene to another character’s perspective.

9/10 times, this will make the scene flow better.

3. Start the scene earlier/later

Oftentimes, a scene just doesn’t work because you’re not starting in the right place.

Perhaps you’re starting too late and giving too little context. Perhaps some description or character introspection is needed before you dive in.

Alternatively, you may be taking too long to get to the actual point of the scene. Would it help to dive straight into the action without much ado?

4. Write only the dialogue

If your scene involves dialogue, it can help immensely to write only the spoken words the first time round.

It’s even better if you highlight different characters’ speech in different colors.

Then, later on, you can go back and fill in the dialogue tags, description etc.

5. Fuck it and use a placeholder

If nothing works, it’s time to move on.

Rather than perpetually getting stuck on that one scene, use a placeholder. Something like: [they escape somehow] or [big emotional talk].

And then continue with the draft.

This’ll help you keep momentum and, maybe, make the scene easier to write later on once you have a better grasp on the plot and characters.

Trust me, I do this all the time.

It can take some practice to get past your Type A brain screaming at you, but it’s worth it.

So, those are some things to try when a scene is being difficult. I hope that these tips help :)
