What do you guys do when you get writers' block? I have my feuds set out for the most part, but the actual match writing and storytelling seems to have hit a wall where it seems like I'm going through the motions. Any tips?

As far as matches with no bigger picture story, i just follow the typical match-progression. By the time you get through it, its long enough.
Babyface gets advantage to start becuase theyre smarter/better/etc
Heel gains advantage after a few mins due to some sort of underhanded tactic
Heel dominantes middle of match
Babyface Comeback
Ending
That pretty much gets me to where I want to be without having to be creative at all. And its what most of my matches are that dont have a specific storytelling purpose, and its easy to write them out and get to the next segment

When it comes to actual matches, I tend not to go into much detail. However, if it's a big match in a big angle, then I'll do as much as I can. Usually writers block affects me when I'm in the middle of a feud. I start everything by asking myself "What's the end game for so-and-so?". Take for example the big KENTA stealing the ROH Championship angle, there is something big that's going to be paid off at the end. It's a lot easier to get through writers block when you know where you want to go with something rather than not knowing entirely.
