Ok, back on topic, today I will post some writer's block tips:
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT WRTERS' BLOCK?
Change the place you write.
Play different music.
Dress as a character in your story.
Take time out and do something entirely different.
Have a routine of preparation rituals. (Eg, sharpening pencils, cracking your knuckles or rearranging furniture. I play Solitaire until I get the first game out, then I have to start writing.)
Meditate. (It relaxes you.)
Have set writing times and habit will sometimes draw words from a tired mind.
Read aloud what you have already written or something that you feel you wrote well.
Free writing. Write what ever comes into your head for a set amount of time, anything from one to thirty minutes. The only rule is that you mustn't stop till the time is up.
Don't wait for inspiration. Begin even if you don't feel like it. You might warm up and rediscover your talents.
Set yourself a word count target and don't leave your chair until you have finished.
Reward yourself with a treat; a walk, a chocolate, a bubble bath, a manicure.
Write down the reasons why you are stuck.
Display any awards or competition certificates you have won to encourage yourself.
Write in a single sentence what your story, long or short, is really about and aim for that.
Exercise. (Extra oxygen to the brain sometimes makes it work.)
Draw a diagram of the house in which your story is set or sketch a character.
Create a chat room in your head by imagining two of your characters then let them talk to each other. Write down what they say.
Allow yourself to be restless or bored. Creativity often follows if you allow your brain to freewheel.
Sleep on it. Your unconscious mind will often work out a tangled plot problem and the answer pops into your head when you wake up.
Write a list of 30 questions about your story, then answer them.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS, YOU CAN'T QUESTION A DEAD AUTHOR. (jk) rofl
