I am struggling with this one too. This may sound bad, but prior to the first round I haven't wrote in almost 2+ years because I'm usually depressing and only write about heartbreak.

 

When I broke up with my ex boyfriend I was literally writing a new song every night, and now that I'm happy I find it so difficult to put meaning in my emotions that do not sound forced or cheesy.

 

I love Greek Mythology though, so I'm hoping one of the Gods / Goddeses can trigger something.

You should try writing about Artemis and Orion. What a tragic story.

at this rate u should just work on compiling a masterpost on page 120 after mc posts the first batch and then have links to each individual batch from the judges cuz these reviews have spanned like 20 pages at this point  

I wanna make each judge just post all of their reviews in one past when they're done so they're easier to find later

@Hug does scarlet bitch and lands number 2, and a day later nintendo announces a scarlet red 2DS? 

Remember when I did Big Brother around the time Tumblr started doing Big Browser ads?

 

I get such wonderful promo.  

[poki]

Oh I just saw the updated scores and it's a tie for #18 now. A cute debut, now I hope I can crack the top 15 or at least a 7 score.

 

Got my inspiration for my next song

Literally wrote a song inspired by it almost immediately after writing it.

 

I'm not sure if it's good? But y'know when you write your emotions all out and needed to get them out, that's what it was. I basically wrote an apology to a guy that I ghosted, because two summers ago (2015) we literally spent every day together and got intimate and every thing and I perhaps though that it could lead to something more.. until he told me he started dating another guy. I basically acted rash, and cut him out of my life immediately when I realized we were on two different pages. And worst thing was when he really really really needed a friend, I blocked him on everything and cut him out of my life for good.  

 

Looking back it was my fault and I never should've entered that friendship, but I was young and naive.

Oh wow, that is sad to hear 

Don't feel so bad about yourself though, I had a similar experience so I can understand how it feels when you thought things could get serious, but then the other person just breaks it all in favor of someone else  in my case I ended up letting the person back in my life, only for it to happen again. 

As long as you are happy nowadays is the most important thing

I mean I'm a lot better now, and been dating a guy for two-years. 

 

But basically from April 2015-August 2015, this guy and I hung out all the time. We basically said it'd be a summer fling, and that neither of us were to get attached to the other which is fine. However, he started doing things such as; pick me up after work and drive me to his place with dinner already made / served; saw me immediately after my wisdom-teeth surgery to make sure I was okay; let me sleep over (in his bed) literally 5 nights out of seven/week and even nights we couldn't hang out he still wanted to go for 'long car rides'. I actually was good at keeping my emotions out of it, and did not really feel anything until one night he told me that if he were to ever date a guy he'd want someone just like me . At first I was like, whatever - but it was when he started actively talking about this new guy I sorta just felt like I was let go. We talked on and off until May of 2016, but what I felt for him was inflicting on my relationship with my boyfriend and my boyfriend told me flat out that I had to choose one of the two. I wasn't going to leave my boyfriend because he is absolutely amazing, so it was 'block, delete, see you later'. But it's more so, looking back, being such a big part of someones life for such a short period and then dropping them like they were nothing that gets me. I do wish if I could go back in time, I could avoid meeting him just because it would've been a lot easier for the both of us.

Oh damn I was kinda perched at this story

 

Young love is such a weird inexplicable thing, but the mistakes you make along the way are essential to learning how to love in a mature, adult way

Mhm. 

 

Except I started dating a new (my current boyfriend) a month after last seeing this guy.  

 

The funniest thing was after this guy I told myself I was not gonna let any boy sway me, and now here I am sharing an apartment with him and we have our own dog.

This was sad but looks like you are much better now. Good to know you found a good man.

Oh God! I have a writer's block. I got some stanzas that do not flow well and I'm struggling to finish the song. Any tips to help me combat this writer's block?

One thing you could do is try taking a shower or bath, or anything that's monotonous and requires no brain power really. It allows your thoughts to just go off on their own and that's when inspiration strikes.

 

Another idea is to literally just write down any old shitty line that pops into your head. You don't have to use it by any means, but you may build into something that is actually usable. That's brute forcing your way through writer's block.

 

Maybe I should take my own advice because I don't have much of anything.

if it's a good time of day, exercise of any kind works wonders! even a walk has shown to stimulate creative thought

I love this challenge so much. I've been reading a lot of these myths and cryptids lately.

Greek mythology is so tragically beautiful - it's right up my back alley    

 

I kind of want to write more even though I already finished my song
