4 Tips to Combat Writers Block
If you are anything like myself, you will regularly look at your blank screen or sheet of paper and think "what on earth am I doing" let's face it sometimes we even walk into a room to get something and think that! Below, I have listed some tips that help me to overcome these little hurdles when writing your novels. Feel free to drop me some comments and share your thoughts.
Take a walk
Walking in fresh air, sunshine, rain, and even snow! All of these elemental changes can help get our brains back on track when it comes to writing. So pop on your flip flops or grab your umbrella!
Write Anything.
Exactly as it says on the tin, write literally anything, keep writing until words flow and sentences begin to make sense! If you need to backtrack, do it! But whatever you do, just keep the pen to the paper. (Or your fingers to the keyboard, if you wish)
Get a Little Help from a Friend.
Never be too ashamed to ask for help, a message, a phone call, your friend may even be grateful for the good old natter! Kill two birds with stone and speak to a friend.
Sleep On It.
Rest is key! No matter if you have written 10,000 words today, or 100 words today, sometimes we all need to just stop and breathe. Never feel like you have not done enough to earn a rest.
