Here Are Some Actual Stylish Peeps to Follow on Insta

Source:  <p>Writer’s block… Ah, we’ve all encountered that dreaded state before. It’s like a temporary death sentence. Okay, that’s an overreaction. </p>   <p>But having writer’s block is bad. Well, at least that’s how I used to see it.</p>   <p>I can’t say I don’t experience moments of not wanting to or not being able to write because I still do (and they happen often). But I have found ways to make sure that I don’t stare at the wall or my blank word processor more than I actually write. Here are some of them.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Write about your interests</h2>   <p>This is easier when you’re a blogger who writes for yourself or if you see writing as an outlet. Do you like makeup? Are you a fan of fashion? Write away. The thoughts flow rather freely when you’re writing about something that you like. </p>   <p>If you still can’t find something to be excited about amongst your interests, try writing about a trending topic that moved you or caught your eye.</p>   <p>If you write for a certain beat or niche, this might be a bit more challenging. What I do if I’m not very interested in a topic is research about it. Learning something new jolts the mind; it jogs up your brain.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://madcherry.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/tips-writers-block-684x1024.jpg" alt="tips to avoid writer's block" class="wp-image-852" style="width:400px"/></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Take a walk</h2>   <p>Walk away from writer’s block — literally. If you’re a more active person, I’d suggest you exercise or do your usual fitness routine. If you’re more like me, walking is enough. Moving can help energize you. Going out can also help you get some time to breathe. A change in view (literally) is always nice and helpful when you’re stuck in a rut.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prepare</h2>   <p>If I’m given a brief about a write-up ahead of time, I re-read the brief as many times as I can and start creating an outline. I may not know exactly what I will say, but at least I already have a flow for it. We usually regard writing as something creative and something that requires inspiration. While it is a creative act, it also requires technical skills and tons of discipline. You can’t always just say you’re not in the mood or your muse didn’t come. Preparation, I’ve come to learn, is key in most anything in life — writing included.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just do it</h2>   <p>This point is related to the previous one. We often make excuses when we can’t write. Now, I’m not saying that writer’s block is not real because I have had a lot of experience with it. What I’m saying is you have a choice to unblock. It’s not a permanent condition; it’s not even one that cannot be undone at will. So, when you feel like you can’t squeeze thoughts out of your mind, just try harder. Type anything. Start with whatever comes to your mind. You can always edit later. It’s always better to have something — no matter how awful — to actually pick at and make better than having nothing at all.</p>   <p>What are your tips for beating writer’s block?</p>

After becoming the talk of the internet over the holidays, the viral Netflix sensation You has been confirmed for a second season, much to the delight of fans everywhere. The thriller series, which stars Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley, follows Joe Goldberg—a psychopathic stalker-kidnapper-murderer who masquerades as a beguiling New York City bookstore manager and self-professed bibliophile.

After a chance encounter with a beautiful blonde writer named Beck (Elizabeth Lail), Joe stalks her and eventually wins her affection—but not without killing off people within her inner circle first.

The chilling tale left viewers with many unanswered questions by the end of its first season, but now that You has been renewed, the show’s makers and actors have planted the earliest seeds of what’s to come next for Joe Goldberg. Here’s what we know about You season 2 so far.

Season 2 is filming in Los Angeles

The series heads out west for season 2. Sera Gamble, the series’ showrunner, played it by the book; she told The Hollywood Reporter about the show’s change of location, and what it means for Joe’s character. “Joe Goldberg comes to L.A. and he is a die-hard New Yorker, so I can’t say that he comes to L.A. and he instantly falls in love with the place. At least at first glance, this is not Joe’s kind of town, which is delightful.”

People who watched the show will remember that Paco and his mother Claudia move to Los Angeles, so it’s possible that a Joe/Paco reunion may be in the works.

The book You is based on has a sequel

You was based on Caroline Kepnes’ novel of the same name. Kepnes wrote a sequel, Hidden Bodies, which tells the story of Joe moving to L.A. This would be a good read if you want to get the scoop ahead of the second season. Kepnes has also hinted that there might be a third book in the series, so stay tuned; she told a fan on Goodreads, “You’ll get more Joe eventually.”

Who’s been confirmed for the second season?

Elizabeth Lail sat down with Radio Times after the series premiered to Netflix to say that she will not be returning to the show—Joe did murder her character, after all. “I am sad to not continue that journey with him,” Lail said, referring to Badgley. “The unfortunate thing is, the woman doesn’t win in the end…and I’m so sick and tired of that.”

Despite the series making it clear that Joe murdered Beck after she found out about him stalking her and murdering her friends, fans got their hopes up. Joe’s ex, Candace (played by Ambyr Childers), not only appeared in flashbacks throughout the series, but also showed up alive and confronted Joe in the finale’s cliffhanger after he (supposedly) killed her. This made fans hope that Beck, by the same thought, might make an appearance in future seasons, even though Lail dispelled the rumor.

Ditto. It will be all the motivation I need for season 2. https://t.co/fy2hojauDG

In theory, we’re not done with Dr. Nicky.

While Beck was forced by Joe to think about “what she did,” Beck wrote a novel that framed Dr. Nicky, her therapist—whom she cheated on Joe with—for her kidnapping in the hopes of obtaining her freedom. After Joe killed her, he published the novel and Dr. Nicky was arrested and sent to prison due to the incriminating manuscript.

“Dr. Nicky is in prison and he is ardently protesting his innocence,” Gamble told THR. “It’s too soon to say definitely whether John Stamos will return in season 2 but we have been talking a lot about the character and we’re excited to keep telling that story.”
