Question

What can I do when I have writers block?

Answer 1

Your mind is probably just over loaded on writing. So just do something you like.. that's not writing. It'll go away sooner or later. Try not to think or worry about it, 'cause it might just get worse.

Answer 2

Well, what do you do to get inspiration? Do you listen to music? Read a book? Watch a movie? Hang out with friends? Do you eat some sugary foods? What seems to give you ideas to write? I know that when I have writers block what helps me is to do whatever it is I do that inspires me to write. For me, when I read a book or watch a movie I always get ideas for stories. So, when I have writers block I read a book or put in a favorite movie then I get ideas for my story and my writers block is cured. So, do whatever it is you do that helps you think up ideas.

Answer 3

well what i like doing is co-writing ac story for fun with people i just answered a question and thats what i'm doing right now or get a couple pages of paper and write down your plot your characters and your main ideas then write down the same for your fav books and see what you can come up with if not pick up a random book and read 1 pages then do the same for 2 more books or answer questions on yahoo answers

Answer 4

writers block is cause by trying to be creative and critical at the same time.

turn off the part of your brain that is telling you that all of your ideas are not good enough.

then let your creative spirit soar!

and when your done soaring, fix the parts that are terrible. :)

works for me every time.

Take a long bath or get a massage. Release all of the tension from your body. Once you are relaxed, the words will come to you. Dont try so hard...

I hate when this happens to me. I usually put in some cd's and just sit back and let my mind begin to wander for a while. It usually does the trick.

It sort of depends on what you're writing... you could always read something else for inspiration, listen to music, or just go for a walk to kind of "clear your head" & maybe it'll just strike you :).

Answer 8

Watch TV. It helps me relax and get the train of thought moving again. :)

Answer 9

read a magazine, something might strike.

i read also that if you are like somewhere in public, like a coffee shop, that you are to like listen to the people around you, and write like what they are talking about and imagine their story, and what they do for a living and such.

i also listen to music. it helps.
