reblogthisanswerthat-deactivate asked: I have a suggestion. So I was looking at this commercial and I thought to myself "stereotypical family" but then I thought about it.
What if you had a picture of a family that seemed very stereotypical, but you encouraged writers to write about everything they're hiding and why the family is definitely not "perfect"?

lifeisacontra-deactivated201110 asked: I've been attempting to write a novel for quite some time. Is it best to write an outline?
In my head I usually know the direction I want my story to go, but I find when I write an outline and get so far in my story, I become tired of what I'm writing and am no longer inspired. I have a few unfinished works and sometimes I feel like I'll never complete something I start....

Just added an Archive link to the nav. Check it.

Write a letter of forgiveness to someone.

sassymcsassholepants asked: From one writer to another, what are the best ways to get yourself out of a funk?
Lately I haven't been able to write. I don't know what the problem is, but even when I feel like maybe I should write, I can't get myself to do it. I'm not even sure if it's a writers block. I just feel like something's wrong and I can't place my finger on it.

reblogthisanswerthat-deactivate asked: This blog is really amazing! When I first found it, I was so excited because I love writing and reading. I haven't written to any of the prompts yet because I sort of feel like I'm not good enough. I know that doesn't matter at all. I have my own writers notebook and this blog and I still love writing, but I feel like I'm always writing about things that aren't important...
