Escape From Endless Writer’s Block is a side quest that takes place in chapter 12 of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It’ll require you to take a series of photos of 
Red XIII in order to give an author some inspiration for her upcoming children’s book. On this page, we’ll navigate you through the necessary steps to getting the best pictures possible.
Maeve is smitten with Cloud.
I came to Gongaga to find inspiration for my next children’s book, but even in this verdant forest I feel the walls closing in all around me! I’m trapped in a mental prison-a maze of my own making-and need a muse to deliver me from the creative doldrums.
How to Start the Escape From Endless Writer’s Block Side Quest - FFVII Rebirth¶
The Escape From Endless Writer’s Block Side Quest can be unlocked via the noticeboard, which is located in the 
Gongaga Region at the start of Chapter 12. Alternatively, you can speak with Maeve who can be found roaming around the Chocobo stables. You don’t need to worry about your level for this side quest as there are no battles involved, but you’ll need to make sure your photography skills are up to scratch as you’ll need to capture some inspirational photos of the one and only Red XIII.
