It is a phase that all writers experience... Take a break and come back... Then read the story as a reader and you will reconnect with it.

Take as long as you need. You will eventually reconnect.

Personal experience: I had a plot in mind and was writing away... As the story progressed, I got disconnected... I stopped updating... Would come on once in a while... Read the story... Would absorb the characters and let my imagination flow... If I still felt disconnected I would leave without updating. Eventually there came a time (several months, sadly). I had requests for updates and felt bad and committed to it.

I cleared my mind, removed all the perceived plots I already had and looked at the story with fresh eyes... When I felt the connect I wrote.

Don't give yourself a time limit, go with the flow. Don't be upset when you can't connect, it is just your mind telling you it is tired. Stay away from the characters... Write about another character, in my case I wrote about ArDhika. I used them as an escape. I needed distance from Ragna.

When I came back, I knew how to move when love forward... I was totally blocked with the ff... Did not know how to move it fwd.

Same with hate me... I could not stand it... Writing about wimpy Ragav... I actually stopped visiting IF... I was reading the ff n the coma track popped into my mind, to get the egoistic, idiotic Ragav back... Response was not favourable, I was diheartened a little, took a step back and waited until I was ready to write about it.

I have learnt that when you can't connect with the characters or the story... You just end up spending hours staring at a blank screen... There is no point forcing yourself... Writing should not be a chore... Just take a break for as long as you need... You will realise yourself when you r ready to write... And surprisingly what you think of when you are fresh... Is way better.

So chill and enjoy your break :)
