    I would definitely agree with the others about listening to music – I think it can help if you listen to something that is similar to what you’re trying to write (like emotional music that makes you feel emotional if you’re trying to write a sad scene or intense music for that scene that’s just filled with thrilling action) For example, I loved listening to the music from Pearl Harbour as I wrote a scene in my novella that goes through the attack on Pearl Harbour. It helped inspire me!

    Also, I totally agree with @arindown – I totally find that I get more excited as I write. Once you get that first opening scene down that you’re satisfied with, I think it helps you feel excited to write more.

    Have y’all ever had writers block when you’ve hardly written anything yet?
    Yes! When I first started my novella, I had to rewrite the opening lines/scene a few times until I was actually pleased with it. I think what helped me in that situation was forcing myself to just write. You might not find that helpful,  but if I’m suffering from writer’s block, just writing something (even if I’m not pleased with it) can really help.

    Sorry if that wasn’t really helpful xD

    I hope you manage to find some solutions for you story:)
