As my main canvas is a Word Document, sometimes it can be a bit annoying to stare at a blank page and not be able to come up with anything to write. So to remedy my writer's block, I took a page out of my two cohorts' books. Whenever :iconeternalshiva:, :iconperpetual159:, or myself get blocked on a certain section, we put something completely inane in place of what we can't think of as a placeholder and come back.

Favorite holders include 'dattebayo', mashing homerow (i.e. adslfajf), 'FAAAAAAAAAAAAK', and other similarly stupid things. Sometimes, those place holders get left in all the way through the final draft of a story... causing much hilarity at the other end with our readers.

well, i don't have that problem. i have more ideas than i can possibly do. i feel overwhelmed by them sometimes, and end up upset i can't do everything i want to do.

I've done everything, still nothing comes to mind. Research images and techniques of others, look through galleries to spark something, wade through forums and conceptart.org to try and get a feel for something through there. Listen to music, find new music.. Seems all lost on me... I hope it comes back..
Maybe I just need to continue.. hopefully it comes to me.

i browse through all the genres on dA/internet by using different words "boots" lmao that's always a fun one and other stuff. sometimes i browse through stock specifcally for awesome poses. i listen to music, read and watch tv. or i ask someone if they want me to draw something for them and then i can force a theme/topic onto myself.
