This is absolutely not a question to resolved with a survey or some kind of literary rule. Any given story is likely to contain dozens of time skips of all manners of lengths, varying from hours, to hundreds of years, to literally until the end of time (eg. The Last Question).

Considering that most stories (especially WN) are horribly overwrought anyway, don't think of this so much as creative burnout, as your mind doing you the favor and cutting your darlings for you. If you don't think the scene worth writing, it probably wasn't worth reading either.

You stole my rec, you scoundrel!

Hey man, that anime was hilarious! Stupid as hell, of course, but that's just part of the comedy.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity for someone to say, "Draw me like one of your french girls."

Good luck bro! I believe in you!!!

Somehow, there are two people following me. I'm not sure what to do with this information, so I guess I'll just try being polite. Hi People! How are your respective days going?

Well, that's a weird catchphrase, but if it works for you, I guess we'll allow it.

I love saying "Kid's these days" when someone does something dumb or silly, doubly so if they're older than me. I probably have a few others, but that's the first one that came to mind.

Congrats! May your future be filled with many more :D

I think overpowered is overrated. It can be a lot of fun, when done right (where the character's struggles and flaws are unrelated to their ability to punch things), but more often than not, overpowered is just a symptom of an author's poor story telling ability (take offense if you must)...

I love rereading my stories, I think I've read each of them several dozen times. Occasionally, when I was writing them, I'd go back to check some detail, then end up reading the whole thing though back to where I was working. For 3, it depends. If the story was dependent on a good twist, then...

I think the advice to write through your block is probably the correct one, though taking a walk outside, or reading a good book, might help get you in the mood. I've found that just writing the scene in a very stupid way can help get me past that point in the story, and then I can come back...

I even try to consider the physics of friction and gravity in fight scenes. I'm too lazy/stupid to do the actual math, but I do at least try to keep in mind that if you try to push off too hard, you'll end up sliding your foot over the ground rather than move anywhere, and other such annoying...

You might get a stronger response one the site SpaceBattles (or SufficientVelocity, though they are a lot smaller). They have these things called "quests" which are basically interactive fiction. I mean, assuming you don't get as much audience involvement here as you'd like.

Can't say I intentionally wrote any moral messages on purpose, but if I was pressed I'd say, "Pragmatism is good, actually."

Perhaps counter intuitive, but good exercise and diet might help with keeping your thoughts in order.
