STEP ONE: Figure out why your muse isn’t cooperating with you.
Perhaps it’s because you’re not in the right mood, or because you have writer’s block in general, because suddenly the muse for another character comes up and replaces that one, if it’s temporarily or for a while. Whatever the reason may be, figure out the root of your problem and solve it. If you find it? Great. If not? Keep trying. You’re bound to get something.
STEP TWO: Look at all the different things your muse enjoys and immerse yourself in them.
You’ve chosen your muse for a reason! If you go through their interactions, their interests, their thoughts, their entire CHARACTER, I believe that you’ll reconnect with them again. Observe how they act around other characters, why they act a certain way, create headcanons for stuff you think would be reasonable for them. It should help make the muse interesting and fun once more.
STEP THREE: Find music which fits the character, look up art or fanfiction ( if your muse is the Canon sort ) and it could spark a muse.
You may have lost the feel of your character because you think you don’t play them well, or because they’re just so far from your own personality that you can’t grasp them well. If so, listen to music that suits their general mood and search for other characters who are similar to them. You’ll almost certainly have a deeper understanding of who that character is and how they would react in certain situations. Again, if your muse is a Canon Character, research about them and their world, how they’ve grown and changed throughout their lives. Add in your own headcanons to give depth, and most importantly…
STEP FOUR: Practice, practice, practice.
If you continue writing for them, you’re sure to get better. And when you do, it will be so much easier for the muse to cooperate with you because you’ve practiced their character! So keep with the muse(s) you’ve chosen to portray, and hopefully they’ll stick with you.
■■■ - He’s an idiot. A big stupid idiot. First and fore most of all, he called the girl before her by her first name without any permission- !? Talk about being rude!? Secondly, raising his voice and avoiding eye contact out of no where, would give him an upsetting aura, thus obviously make the girl misunderstood the whole situation. She’s apologizing repeatedly for doing absolutely nothing wrong, for heaven’s sake! And lastly, keeping this grumpy and withdrawn attitude would lead this to nowhere. This is a one in a million chances that these two teens would actually start a conversation, but now he’s thinking of running away again!? “…A- Ah. Hey, no- It’s alright.” He waved reassuringly, hoping that she knows she didn’t cause any major trouble at all…Ba-thump. But deep inside the irritation on why he is beginning to feel this sickly feelings makes the boy want to scream and run, but ceased when — [ Maybe we can watch it together. ] “…..!?” W- Wait. What? What!? He covered his face with his hand to hide the blush started to creep across his poor face. Akari Hayasaka - asked him do something — together!? S- Stop all of this already or he’ll just fall for you more, god dammit! As much as he hates to admit it, he was quite relieved, but very disappointed when she withdrawn the offer. “Yeah, we’re definitely not into that…r- right.” Such a lousy lie! He and the others are part of the film club for heaven’s sakes! Also, isn’t he out of the three boys who enjoys that genre? Pfftt- Disgusting liar that will have his pants on fire! “But If you’re free, I don’t mind going ou-" Oh god, what is he planning to do now? Mission abort! mission abort! "….O- Oh, wait. You’re part of the art club, right? Yuu asked me if our club could borrow some paintings from you guys for our next project. Well, if that’s not much trouble.”
✿ —— “Arigatou…” Genuine happiness pulled the corners of her lips up. A hand reached up to scratch her head, a sheepish gesture that undoubtedly wasn’t helping her already messy hair. “I was afraid that you were mad at me… Does that mean I can call you Mochita-kun again?”
“That’s too bad…” A thoughtful look crossed her face. She’d heard many stories from the other girls. Some of them were apparently fond of dragging their boyfriends to watch chick flicks with them. Her thoughts turned to her friends, Natsuki and Miou. She wondered if they would do that to, if they ever got together with Yuu and Haruki. Maybe it would be a double date—nah, a group date. They would feel bad about not including her and Mochita. Wait—did that mean that she would be going out with Mochita? They were the only ones left alone, after all. A blush spread across her cheeks again, but it wasn’t one of embarrassment like the last one. “Eep!” she accidentally released, hands flying up to cover her mouth. She needed to stop wondering so much about love. It gave her such weird thoughts. “Um, gomen,” I seem to be saying that a lot today, “but can you repeat what you just said?" She knew that he had been saying something while her mind was thinking of strange things. Now she had missed it because of the direction her brain was intent on wandering.
"Ah, yes! Eri-sensei usually lets me handle things like that. But I’ll ask her later, just in case. Ninety-nine percent, she’ll say yes.” she remarked, happy for anything that distracted her mind. Her hand slipped in her pocket, closing around the tiny key that led to the art room. As president, she was trusted with it and she brought it everywhere to ensure that it wouldn’t get lost. “I’m actually heading there to prepare for this afternoon’s meeting. Do you want to come with me and look at the paintings?”
Shouhei uttered a frustrated sound as he ran a hand through his messy hair. “For the last time, I do not want her to draw it!” Whoever she even is. But seeing that the other was obviously not listening to him, he sighed and decided not to push it any further. Maybe if he looked disinterested enough, she would get the message.
Before he had time to respond curtly to her comment, saying that he really did not think it was cute, she had already introduced herself, hand held out in front of her. The teen hesitated, before taking it and muttering, “Ameyori Shouhei. And no, I’m not a student here. I just came by to visit someone…”
✿ —— “Eep! Gomen!” she exclaimed, bowing a little. She’d made him uncomfortable and probably made the school look bad. Guilt made her eyes look down, facing the floor and not his face. She couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes. Such were the effects of a troubled conscience. “I went a little out of line…”
But when he took her head she looked up, lips curved into a smile once more. He couldn’t be that mad if he introduced himself back, could he? “Nice to meet you, Ameyori-kun! Who are you visiting?” Head titled in curiosity. “Maybe I can help you get to them.”
Ba-dump. It was calm and steady at first. Ba—dump. Then he heard that carefree laugh — Ba-dump.Ba-dump.Ba-dump.Ba-dump.Ba-dump.Ba-dump.Ba-dump.Ba-dump!?!?!?!?
■■■ - “A- A- Aaaa—Uh- Akari-!?” He strutted and panic is starting to fill the poor boy’s mind. What with everybody and sneaking up on him lately!? And out of all people that has to hear his complaint, it has to be HER. Why now? Why this?! Why must the gods hate him!? ‘Do you like somebody?’ her question continued to repeat in his mind. Oh the sweet irony, for the answer of that question is right in front of him. Too bad he’s still a coward. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. "N- No.No.No.No.No. It’s not that! I- It’s just- I just heard in class about this new drama coming out and- I dunno- I’m not really into the romantic and — Ha. Hahaha.” The discovery though that the female before him interested about love, caught his interest though. Does she like someone? Did someone confess? A love letter? A new student? Numerous questions started to fill his mind. “I…see.” que laughter and scratching the back of his head. ‘Who do you like?’ is the one he wanted to ask but- …no. that’d be just plain obvious and hopeful of him.
✿ —— Oblivious as she was at times, the boy’s surprise did not go past her. Pink embarrassment dusted her face she bowed, eyes shut tight. ”Gomen! Gomen, Mochizuki-kun!“ She wasn’t sure if he would appreciate her using his nickname after what she had just done. Better to be safe. "I didn’t mean to shock you.” Ngggh. How embarrassing. It was only common sense. People were bound to be surprised if you sneaked up behind them.
One eye opened to gauge the other’s reaction. He didn’t seem mad… Eh?! Was he avoiding her eyes? Was the red spreading across his cheeks a result of anger? She really hoped it was okay between them. His real name felt strange on her lips, like it was a word from a foreign language. She didn’t want him to hold a grudge, and she didn’t want to call him that forever. She wanted to call him Mochita-kun again.
“Oh, okay.” She smiled sheepishly at him, both eyes open again. (Her right eye was starting to hurt.) “I’m not into drama, but I think romantic movies are nice. Do you remember the name? Maybe we can watch it together.” Wait, what? She needed to rephrase that, quick! If he misunderstood, it would ruin everything! It wouldn’t do good to have him running away from her, would it? “O-On a second thought, I don’t think you and the other boys will like it, so I’ll save it for a girls only hang out.”
■■■ - “…Sheesh, this ‘love’ stage is a very troublesome thing, if you ask me. I just really hope this is some sort of a phase.”
✿ —— “Why’s that, Mochita-kun? Do you like somebody?” A clueless laugh was heard. “I’ve been wondering about love, too, but I don’t think it’s so troublesome.” In fact, she might actually… want it.
