how to get your muse back || a small guide
STEP ONE: Figure out why your muse isn’t cooperating with you.
Perhaps it’s because you’re not in the right mood, or because you have writer’s block in general, because suddenly the muse for another character comes up and replaces that one, if it’s temporarily or for a while. Whatever the reason may be, figure out the root of your problem and solve it. If you find it? Great. If not? Keep trying. You’re bound to get something.
STEP TWO: Look at all the different things your muse enjoys and immerse yourself in them.
You’ve chosen your muse for a reason! If you go through their interactions, their interests, their thoughts, their entire CHARACTER, I believe that you’ll reconnect with them again. Observe how they act around other characters, why they act a certain way, create headcanons for stuff you think would be reasonable for them. It should help make the muse interesting and fun once more.
STEP THREE: Find music which fits the character, look up art or fanfiction ( if your muse is the Canon sort ) and it could spark a muse.
You may have lost the feel of your character because you think you don’t play them well, or because they’re just so far from your own personality that you can’t grasp them well. If so, listen to music that suits their general mood and search for other characters who are similar to them. You’ll almost certainly have a deeper understanding of who that character is and how they would react in certain situations. Again, if your muse is a Canon Character, research about them and their world, how they’ve grown and changed throughout their lives. Add in your own headcanons to give depth, and most importantly…
STEP FOUR: Practice, practice, practice.
If you continue writing for them, you’re sure to get better. And when you do, it will be so much easier for the muse to cooperate with you because you’ve practiced their character! So keep with the muse(s) you’ve chosen to portray, and hopefully they’ll stick with you.

a few things -
1. tomorrow w the election results, realize that many votes were mailed in and will be counted until the end of november (x). tomorrow will not have a definitive winner. it’ll be a projection. it seems that a lot of mail in ballots are democratic party votes, so keep your head up unless there’s some kind of massive landslide.
2. voter intimidation is real and i would expect it to be pretty bad at the polls tomorrow. if you experience or witness voter intimidation, please call 1-866-our-vote (1-866-687-8683) to report it. this number calls the national voter protection hotline and they can send federal investigators as well as local law enforcement to help. it’s a good practice to record any voter intimidation that you see at the polls and write your account and report it to local law enforcement, the ACLU, local news, etc. save this evidence in a place that you will not lose it and cc yourself on any emails you send to ensure you do not lose it too.
2a. if possible, vote with a friend or family member.
3. if you are uncertain about your voter status, have not gotten a response that your mail-in ballot has been processed, or if you are booted from the polling line for xyz reasons, please make sure you grab a provisional ballot. idaho, minnesota, and new hampshire unfortunately do not do provisional ballots, but all other 47 states do. as per the linked website, it is a federal law in these states to give voters provisional ballots. quote, “If an individual declares that such individual is a registered voter in the jurisdiction in which the individual desires to vote and that the individual is eligible to vote in an election for Federal office, but the name of the individual does not appear on the official list of eligible voters for the polling place or an election official asserts that the individual is not eligible to vote, such individual shall be permitted to cast a provisional ballot....” if your state gives them and you cannot vote regularly, get one of these!
4. if you live in a large city and expect lines, make sure you dress for the weather and bring a snack or two!
5. some states will allow you to declare an emergency ballot if you are sick on election day. if you’re feeling under the weather, check if your state will allow you to have one.
6. here are the tips the CDC has for voting during the pandemic so that you can protect yourself at the polls.
7. TIME magazine has a really great q&a article for other questions you may have tomorrow!
8. please take care of yourself. avoid social media and the news if you need too. hang out with people in your bubble and try to do something to distract yourself if you’re worried about the results!
i hope some of these links have helped and please feel free to share.
sometimes i think about how constellations are an entirely man-made construct and don’t actually exhist inherently in nature. i mean, the universe just gave us stars, and we saw art and myths and stories in them. the capacity that humans have for seeing purpose in the incidental makes me realize just how lonely we are on this planet, desperately searching for meaning elsewhere in the universe.

you know what’s a good dynamic… stoic, responsible overachiever with a record of glowing recommendations and prestigious qualifications and awards but has no actual positive relationships because their workaholic tendencies and ‘duty first, always’ mentality make them hard to get to know, let alone like, is forced to work with cocky, carefree and suave but reckless troublemaker on their final warning on a job where both their reputations are at stake despite both of them protesting the decision when given the assignment, only for them to gradually start to warm up to each other as they realize that they’re not really so different underneath the facades they put up to hide their insecurities - the responsible one relies on the approval of others to feel good about themselves, and the seemingly carefree one feels like a failure and a disappointment to the people they care about. the reckless one teaches the sensible one to loosen up a little and enjoy themselves without worrying about what other people will think about them, and, in an important and touching moment that demonstrates the strength of the bond they’ve developed, the sensible one stands up for and defends the reckless one from a false accusation that has the potential to cost them their career, using both their reputation as someone whose judgement can be trusted and the self-confidence and willingness to take risks that the reckless one has taught them to outwit their opponent(s).
