QOTW ⇌ #5

When I have editors block, I usually just force myself to edit either that be for requests, with templates or just throwing things around until something clicks. I usually get editors block when I'm sad, so I generally just use editing in that time to not think about my problems and focus on the task at hand. I also usually have two or so requests to do, or at least a project on hand just in case for this scenario as well. I'm not the most confident in my edits, but hearing/seeing someone else enjoy them helps.

Dealing with editors block can be hard to deal sometimes but for me, i always seem to take a real break from editing whenever i go through the editors block. What i meant from real break is that i don't even think of doing editing, i avoid the things includes editing and stuffs. I usually keep this attitude, "meh as i don't know editing I'll just play games/watch dramas or so on" and that's exactly what i do. Some ppl seems to get stressed for motivatation during this but i like to clear my mind from old ideas so that i am adapt new ideas. I just keep myself away from the stressing and a break really helps. Beside this when i finally feel that i need inspo/motivation for editing i usually go through many edits, watch videos and become active on comms, mostly editing comms. I see many posts as possible, observe them carefully. If something seems to catch my attention, i try it out and create something on my own.  Sometimes i like to rush myself like i need something to keep me busy with editing in order to avoid editors block. Like clubs/challenges, they provide us some prompt to work on and i eventually get motivated to edit coz i badly want everyone to notice me through editing, lol.

I hope my words helped coz i really suck at expressing things. There's a lot to say but it'll get boring so yeah next time~ i know y'all can do it! Fighting! :revolving_hearts: :fist:

from my experiences with editors block (everyone has diff experiences) is that i’ll take it as a break! it’s my brain telling me that i can no longer put myself thru a tiring process that affects me both mentally and physically. SO,, during that blocking time i just focus on myself and think of the editors block as a reset/healing process until i can edit again. i also look thru photos/resources/inspo that’ll help me when i get my groove back in editing. a thing that can help is watching tutorials!! it’ll help you by feeling that motivation to edit and makes you think “i want to do that too.” sometimes it’s not as easy, getting over a block isn’t something you should force on yourself. it’ll take some time and you’ll eventually overcome it naturally. it’s definitely possible to overcome an editing block, i believe in you!! :two_hearts:

how to deal with editors block!

getting past editor's block can be a little tough and all that but here's some ways or tips you can do! FIND SOME INSPO. you can search a lot of inspo edits from pinterest and weheartit,, there's also some in some of the editing comm's shared folder! GATHER SOME RESOURCES. sometimes when you look for resources to use, you can create an idea or style for you edits. you can ask from some friends or you can ask some people for it, there's also a lot on the internet like deviantart, weheartit and pinterest and etc. TAKE A SMOL BREAK. sometimes your brain is just tired to come up with ideas that's why you should just take a break for a while. been there done that taking a break really helps. WATCH/READ TUTORIALS. this really helped me a lot when i have editor's block i watch tutorials on yt or i scroll in through editing comms for tutorials, it gives me some inspiration and also some tips and tricks on what to do and on how to improve my editing. DO NOT PRESSURE YOURSELF. it's similar to taking a break, you shouldn't pressure yourself to edit, editing should be fun, it's for leisure, just take your time on editing what you need to edit.

these aren't a lot but i hope it helps people out when they get editor's block, it helped me a lot so i hope it helps yall too^^
