#WritersCoffeeClub 2.23 — What techniques help you write a difficult second act?
Music. Relaxing. Reading. Watching TV. Gaming. Anything, really, to help inspire me. Any creative activities are helpful. Sometimes taking myself out of "writing mode" is actually the key. I can't force the writing to happen. The muse will return, the ideas will come, but I just have to patient with myself in the meantime. Then, after, the second act will come for me.
