Right now, I lost the "vibe" to continue My Submissive Sister, but I want to start writing it agai, but I have no idea how to get back into it. Could it be because I am torn between wanting to continue MSS (My Submissive Sister) and starting a new story? Any tips on how to get back into writing the story? Or how do you get back into writing after this happens to you?
The best advice I can give is to reread the story to see if you brainstorm any ideas for further chapters afterwards
The main thing I can suggest is to put it away for a while and then re-read it like you were reading someone else's story you've been commissioned to add to, sometimes that helps me... My other tip is just don't stop writing! Writing is like a muscle, if you use it a good amount daily it strengthens, if you don't it atrophies.
Mordre, I am struggling with the same issue right now. I think I might start a new branch in my story so that I can continue working on a story that I've put a ton of time in while also writing something new. And to add to what Nemo said, writing is like a muscle, the hardest part about getting back into exercise is the beginning, if you can push yourself through the first part it gets easier.
I can't speak to what works for other people, for myself two things work: 1) Variety. If something isn't working, switch it up. Write from another character's perspective, write in another genre, write a different fetish. You've got several branches going on your story - if you don't know how to continue the main branch right now, maybe explore one of the other ones. 2) Set a goal for yourself. Something realistic and quantifiable like "I will write 500 words this week" or "I will write an outline for what I want to happen" - it doesn't have to be big, and it should be reasonable and doable. Heck, it doesn't even have to be published material - work on an outline in the forums, think about scenes you'd like to have happen, that kind of thing. You might not get a lot of feedback, but doing something is better than nothing. Set a small goal and accomplish it, and you can build up from there. For me, I like to combine 1 + 2 with how I approach Lois Lane's Night Out - a lot of different plotlines to update incrementally instead of focusing on one line I might get bored with - but I also try to write something every day, even if I don't publish it (yeah, I publish a chapter or two ever day, but that's not all I write). If you develop a habit of writing, it gets easier. If you have a plan of where you're going with the writing (an outline), it become more obvious where to go from here...especially if you decide to work toward a specific scene or a specific pairing. So if, for example, you want one of the characters to beg another to fuck her in the ass...that doesn't just happen. You have to transition toward that, and that in itself can be interesting, figuring out how you get from A to B, thinking about how the characters would respond to certain situations, why they would beg to be fucked in the ass, etc.
If I need some inspiration, I read what I've got so far and then have a warm shower. Weirdly, that helps more often than not. The only problem is to remember everything until you're back at your keyboard.
