The question isn't how do you die. It is: How do you live? Do you pursue your dreams or do you let life pass by like it doesn't matter? How do you want to live?

POV: Entering that phase of life where I enjoy nature walks alone, every small flower, exploring empty places, and quietly watching the night stars.

Our thoughts and ideas are not our own. We resay, remold, and rebuild what we hear and see. Thus, history repeats itself, just in different forms.

My peer once told me: If you are struggling with what to write, focus on topics you know and love. It does not have to be profound or grandiose. It simply needs to ignite your personal interest, and ideas will follow.

"When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone. When I was sure of losing, I won. When I needed people the most, they left me. When I learned to dry my tears, I found a shoulder to cry on. And when I mastered the art of hating, somebody started loving me." - William Shakespeare

Life is a precious gift that we often neglect, misuse, and squander. Yet, we only have one. Only a rare few truly appreciate life, embrace it wholeheartedly, and value every moment as a blessing.

Effective Strategies for Overcoming Writer's Block and Maintaining Creative Momentum

Freewriting: Allow yourself to write without judgment or editing. Freewriting involves writing continuously for a set period (ie. 10-20 minutes) without worrying about grammar, spelling, or coherence. This can help unlock new ideas and break writer's block.

(This one is most effective in my opinion.)

Read and Consume Other Art: Reading books, watching films, or visiting art galleries can inspire your creativity. Exposure to different stories, styles, music, and ideas can spark new thoughts and help you overcome creative blocks.

Embrace the Messy First Draft: Perfectionism can be a significant barrier to productivity. Accept that your first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. Allow yourself to write badly initially, knowing you can always revise and improve your work later.

Establish a Routine: Creating a consistent writing schedule can help prepare your mind to be productive at certain times. Set aside dedicated writing time each day, even if it’s just for 15-30 minutes. The regularity can help break through the inertia of writer's block.

Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break down your writing project into smaller, manageable tasks. For example, Instead of aiming to write a chapter, set a goal to write 500 words or complete one scene. Achieving these smaller milestones can build momentum and make the task feel less daunting

Overcoming writer’s block and maintaining creative momentum involves trying different strategies to see what works best for you. By establishing a routine, setting achievable goals, and embracing the creative process, you can keep your writing flow steady and productive. Remember, every writer experiences blocks – it's how you navigate them that defines your journey.

The importance of setting:

Setting is a powerful tool in a writer's arsenal, capable of significantly influencing the mood and atmosphere of any story. The setting provides the backdrop against which the characters interact and the plot unfolds.

One of the primary ways setting impacts mood and atmosphere is through its sensory details. By vividly describing a particular place's sights, sounds, smells, and textures, writers can immerse readers in the story's world, evoking emotions and setting the tone. For example, a gloomy, fog-shrouded forest might create a sense of foreboding and tension, while a sun-drenched beach could evoke feelings of warmth and tranquility.

The relationship between characters and their environment can further enhance the atmosphere. A protagonist navigating a labyrinthine urban landscape filled with neon lights and shadowy alleyways will experience a vastly different journey compared to one exploring a vast, windswept desert.

Effective use of setting involves more than just describing physical surroundings; it requires careful consideration of how these elements contribute to the overall tone and themes of the story.

Ask yourself questions: How does the setting reflect the internal struggles of the characters? How does it influence their motivations and choices?

By weaving the setting into the narrative, writers can create immersive worlds that resonate with readers long after the story ends. Mastering the art of setting allows writers to transport readers to distant realms, where every street corner and hillside becomes a vital piece of the storytelling puzzle.
