So for me specifically, that would be reading other fantasy books, watching fantasy movies, playing fantasy video games.
I also find it helps to have more than one project on the go at a time. Working on the same thing for a long time can start to feel like a chore after a while, especially when you reach those parts that are harder to write, or are just not as interesting. Those are the moments where the imposter syndrome and negative self-talk can make an appearance, to try and trick you into thinking that the reason you’re struggling is because you’re just not very good. Which usually is not the case at all. So before I reach that stage I like to move onto something else to keep my mind fresh. Taking that break away from the project also gives me the time and space to think of ways to fill in those less-interesting or harder-to-write gaps, so that by the time I go back to them, they don’t appear as daunting as they were before.
And on the rare occasion when even those strategies don’t work, sometimes the best thing to do is just admit defeat and take the day off. Live to write another day. It happens.(less)
