    I feel you! 😋  My overarching advice is for you to, when you’re feeling writer’s block, play some music, get on Pinterest, and pin every prompt or picture that could help you start writing.  🙂

    Perhaps I get to hung up when I feel it needs to be original/unique.

    So do I.  That’s my constant struggle, because everything seems to be used already!! 😂  When that happens, try to remember that we learn from imitating other people’s work and we eventually start to figure out how to write in our own unique, individual ways.  So try to have that mindset when you write (I’m telling myself that too 😉).

    One thing I also seem to have trouble with is the antagonists goals.

    Girl, you sound just like me!! 🤣  I struggle with everything you’ve mentioned.  I don’t have any amazing advice about this except for what I mentioned earlier–try to imitate the authors you love, and eventually a unique (hopefully not cliche 😉) character will start to take shape.

     

    Hopefully I didn’t waste your time and I hope you find your embers!! 😋
