I am suffering from writer's block right now. D: It usually lasts only a few days to two weeks, and is usually healed by a good movie, fanfiction that I read, or a new song.

But right now, nothing's helping. I just saw The Eagle yesterday, and I desperately want to write fic for it, but I can't because nothing will come. D: And I feel really bad, because I owe people fic and I want to update.

I just can't. So I might take your method and ban myself from X-Men, Inception, and anything related to them until I want to write. ♥ I've never tried doing that, before, so hopefully it'll help.

But oh Hell, stress when you're pressured to write- for, example, xmenbigbang -when you've got writer's block is the absolute worst.

Oh my god, I totally meant to get back to you sooner. But The Eagle!! I want to see that, is it really good?

I banned myself from writing in general. I didn't ban myself from the fandom, which, along with forbidding myself to write, I think, made me want to write more. I'm sadistic like that.

Fuck yes! It's so wonderfully heterosexual and not a bromance at all. I mean, the two main leads (there are no female leads to speak of, unless one of the horses is female) are male, and they go on an epic adventure through the wilderness with nothing but some clothes, food, and swords to keep them company.

Which means to say, THIS IS THE BEST BROMANTICAL MOVIE I'VE SEEN SINCE XMFC.

Just look at this:

DUDE I'm looking forward to watching it because of Jamie Bell, who played Billy Elliot in the movie. BUT OH GOD THE MUSICAL HOW I DO LOVE THE MUSICAL.

That gif is so lovely.

Yay but not because I like your XMFC and Inception fics...D:

JAMIE BELL, TOO. Oh God, he spends the entire movie looking moody and brooding. And partially naked for a good few seconds. 8D

But Channing is my kind of guy. /downloaded Step Up & Step Up 2 just for him

AND THAT'S NOT EVEN THE SLASHIEST MOMENT. You need to see this movie.

D: I like writing them. But in order to write them, quitting is essential. I'll explode with rage within a few weeks and write thousands of words one night, and it will all be better.
