Writing is hard, yo. No, but seriously. I hope it starts coming more smoothly to you again - and I hope to me too, because this big bang isn't gonna write itself!
Just - type crap. Don't even worry about the story, just type about the *character*, what you like ,anything. I bet some story will work its way out. *luffs*
I am trying that. I have typed crap for sure. Some bits are good but I think I'm just being lazy and not wanting to work this hard. I'm thinking, as goofy as this sounds, to move into another room and change things up. *shrugs, grins*
Oh cool, then I'm gonna find someone willing to work for literal peanuts and get them to write this shit for me. Incentive--they're mixed in with caramel popcorn and are reeeeeeeeelly tasty....
Ah, you know, this is a slow burn kind of a jerk Jensen and it's hard because it's all from Jared's POV, and even though I know it won't always be like that, I just feel bad for Jared. and now I'm laughing at myself for being too involved in Jared's feelings. Maybe I should just scribble some stuff in Jensen's pov, like a writing exercise or something.
That's not a bad idea and might placate your muse. Maybe you could write both POVs but post them as two separate stories: Jared's first, then Jensen's.
Oh I like that idea - maybe if you are in Jensen's head a bit, it will help you get past the stumbling block (even if it isn't actually used in the final version)
I like that idea about writing from Jensen's point of view as a writing exercise. You could even include a part in his point of view if that's do-able and doesn't give out too many secrets. Someone suggested writing parts of the story that you won't actually be including in the story - background, or what happens in parts that you will not be covering.
I usually love doing switching POVs, but this needs to be all from Jared's side of things, but writing out Jensen's and getting it out of the way might help me, or using it as a timestamp--ha!--that might work! :D
Everyone's given good advice. I got none. What I've got is commiseration. It was so bad yesterday I was truly contemplating never getting out of bed again.
OH had issues with that decision this morning. It worked out. I still haven't written a lick, but I'm out of bed. It's a start.

So, you know, I will if you will.
