5 Tips to Write When You Don't Feel Like Writing, ft. Sincerely, Vee

Sometimes, you just don’t feel like writing. It’s a problem most of us writers have dealt with before. But with a challenge like Nanowrimo encouraging us to write everyday to aim for 50k words written by the end of the month, we may need to push through even when we don’t feel like writing. In today’s video, Vee from the authortube channel “sincerely, vee” shares 5 tips to write when you don’t feel like writing.

WOW this is very helpful! Thank you so much, and I love the fairy lights in your room

I find that just turning on my computer is amazing. I tell myself, just turn it on. And then it's sitting there, ready to be used. So there's some pressure to sit down and write. But I also definitely agree on "writing out"--going somewhere else. That can really help.

Wiring sprints really do work! I do them before bed and I get so many words in its amazing! IU never thought it was possible. I should get out of my house to write.

Thank you. I normally do all these but haven't this year since I had a personal emergency. At this point, I need 3100 words per day to finish on time so this reminder was helpful. I glanced at my calender where I use a 3 tier sticker reward system. Small for any writing done. Medium for hitting 2000 words that day. And BIG for hitting cumulative goal for the day as in getting above the line on the NaNoWriMo site. My two measley small stickers look lonely. I'm off to join a sprint. Thanks.

I love these - thanks a bunch! The music playlist in Tip 2 is what I usually use the most, but I love the idea of the vision board, as well! 😯 Also, Tip 4 is usually a big help for me. Thank you again - this was awesome!! 💜

Thanks for the tips! I might watch a past writing stream later today and writing along with someone else to finish up my word count for the day.

I find the Sprinto bot on Discord super helpful-- both for solo & joint sprints

I like how you have Minecraft session on your example for rewards. For me it would be Dr. Mario session! I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year, but I'm definitely keeping this in mind for the future!
