All these muses have been helpful. My best muse, Zayn has the best of me.
After all the thinking and trying all these tricks or as for me "muses" , it finally occurred to me that, indeed. Stories are everywhere. One just has to keep their eyes open. Mind open. Let it all consume you.
I'm not going to lecture or speak of how one overcomes a writer's block because it is different for every writer.
As you may have seen, my muses are quite different and weird. Well most or atleast some of them.
For me when I have a writer's block, I try to clear my head. Then i sleep. It really helps alot. Because most of my ideas occur to me when I'm sleeping. If I am sleeping lightly that is, I can immediately get up and jot down the ideas, then that's what i do. But if I'm in deep sleep then I try to remember it to the best capacity I can.

Here is an experience I had a while ago. Hope you don't get bored.

It was around 8:30 pm. A normal day. I was as usual studying. My mum would call me to help her if she needed me. But usually she let me be. Sometimes she would get really pissed off for not ever helping her neither  in the kitchen nor any household stuff. She would always say I'm a lazy potato. I would always laugh it off. But inside, it would always hurt me. Make me sad. This was not the only case. There have been many situations in my life that have lead me to stay in my little cocoon and stop with connecting with people.

I had always loved writing. And during my high school days , I would write poems and random stuff. It stopped when I started university. Studies took its toll.

But , then these situations, made me want to write again.

So I did.

There were times when my head was clouded and i couldn't write down what exactly i wanted.
So I started thinking. Creating these absurd scenarios in my head. What if this happened? What if that happened? In the beginning all surrounded zayn. Funny i know. Naive even. Well, i was young. A mere teenager.
But all those scenarios lead me to write stories. Though i haven't published them yet.

My biggest problem was and i think it still is, once i started a story, i couldn't finish it. I would write a few chapters and then leave it there.

It lead to too many books incompleted.

That's when i came across Ambassadors 's profile amd found this book of contests. Though many contest books are on different profiles of  Wattpad , I thought it would be best if I pushed myself to join the contests amd challenges. That way, I would be able to write as well as complete it.
It helped me because , these contests and challenges have shown me what genre i should pick if I ever want to write a story on.

I read a lot. I can proudly say , i have read over 400 books here on wattpad. I always search for new books in new genres. It helps me see and understand the different writing methods of the writers. As well as i can forget the real world and fly off to my own little bubble.

There are many writers here on wattpad that have inspired me to write.

The very first book I read here on wattpad was a fanfiction. Well i was an 18 year old naive girl,who was crazy ( and still is ) about one direction and especially zayn .

The book was imaginator1D 's #DarkAndDangerousLove. It's still one of my faves. And then i read the #After series. And currently I'm hooked to these books,
Olga_GOA 's #CDC ,
RobThier 's #SilenceBreaking ..and many others but can't remember their names 😂🙈.

My muses are definitely weird but they are what they are. They help me write and make stories up or write stories from my own experiences.

I would like to thank ChickLit And I'm very glad to be part of it. Thank you for doing this and inspiring me to write. All the writers i mentioned above, thank you. Your books have inspired me everyday to be what i am and keep writing. I hope someday in the future i do write a proper book and complete it. Hopefully.

Love, Z x
