writerlydays

getting into the writing mood

I have days when I sit down in front of my computer and I can’t think of a single thing to write. It doesn’t matter if i’m in the middle of a story. It doesn’t matter if I have a literal map to tell me what to do, I just can’t seem to find a single idea, even a dash of inspiration.

On days like those, here are a few things I like to do that can get me out of those dreary muse-less doldrums:

Make a moodboard for your story or a character. A moodboard is a series of pictures (usually nine if you’re doing it on tumblr) that represents some idea. Maybe the idea of a story, a character, a plot. For me, doing this not only helps me get into the mood of my story, but it can help me get into my characters’ heads as well.
Make a playlist. This one is pretty simple. If you’re writing a mystery, find some mysterious music to inspire you while you write. If you’re writing an adventure, put on some thrilling music to get you into an epic mood! If you’re writing a roadtrip, listen to Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys.
Write out a recipe. So this one may be a little odd, but it’s something that helps me. Sometimes i’ll watch a recipe video on youtube and i’ll imagine my character making this food. Then, i’ll write it out. Yes, write out a scene where your character makes a pie, in detail. Write the ingredients, write about the way the flour gets under their fingernails and how the dough feels under their palms. What kind of emotions would making this food bring up?
Do some worldbuilding. Sometimes if i’m feeling stuck in a story, I might take a moment to look at the world of my story and add a few things. Think about the surroundings, cities, fields, space. Think about whats around, and who’s around, and sometimes this might give you ideas. You might think of an idea for a subplot, or you may just remember a detail you wanted to include.

What are some things you do to get you into a writing mood?

Painted near the Malibu creek on Saturday with some lovely people! Mountain sides full of shrubbery are hard! It was also rare to see the mountains looking so green.

it’s two in the morning and he’s helping you down from a cold marble counter-top so you can dance around the kitchen floor. a kettle is whistling and rain drums on the windows. this is the first time you feel truly wanted.

you’re in the car with someone you love, driving towards the ocean. the sun is shining behind you. everything has a warm glow and, for once, the only thing that matters is how you feel.

you’re laying on the hood of a car with music playing on the radio. the windows are rolled up and it sounds like you’re listening from inside a fish tank. you feel like you’re miles away.

I wanna run away with someone in the middle of the night and go on adventures and see the world and eat at cheap truck stops and sit on top of our car and look at the stars and just be somewhere other than here.
