Has anyone else ever dealt with this or know any ways to help deal with it. I get that writer's block is something happens to everyone but even knowing that hasn't helped me avoid getting into a slump every time I go through this cycle.
I'm fairly new to the whole story thing so you can take my advice or leave it. What I've been doing is what @lisabee2 also suggested. I play challenges. Now, my challenges do usually have some sort of a storyline but it's not scripted or forced, it's in past tense. I play, take screenshots as I go, then just write what happens and surprisingly people read it.
For example: In my ISBI challenge I just got a new restaurant, I sent the family there without checking everyone's needs except my torch holder, one kid got stinky soon after arriving, I got the pop-up that it was the other's birthday, she kept passing out, (I lost 20 points!) but it was a lot of fun. I said they went to the restaurant for Jaci's birthday and that she kept passing out due to fear of the bear waitstaff.
The thing that gets me is, I can work for weeks on a written beforehand and posed chapter for a story and one of my just for fun challenge posts will get 10x more views.
I try not to take it personally.
