“Writing about writer’s block is better than not writing at all.”—Charles Bukowski.

How often are you unable to think of what to write?
What do you do when you cannot think of how to proceed with writing?

Writer’s Block is inevitable. However, if you believe that writer’s block does not exist, I’ll agree and support you.

Remember, writing is a diverse and sacred activity. If you are a creative writer, your imagination sometimes goes wild and makes you unable to decide which one is profitable and how to write them in an attention-grabbing manner.

The cursor blinks on the blank page and you can do nothing except look at it. I found myself in that state once or twice. I will agree with those who talk about Blank Page Syndrome and Impostor Syndrome. There are reasons behind them and you will find several solutions are also available.

The famous psychiatrist Edmund Bergler coined the term ‘Writer’s Block’ in 1947. In 1950, Bergler published a paper titled Does Writer’s Block Exist? It was a thought-provoking piece of writing.

How do I avoid it?

After publishing my new book The Way I Learn, I experienced writers should not limit themselves only to content writing but they must know readers’ desires and profitability of the topic selection. I realised that procrastination, lack of niche clarity, absence of outline, unawareness to market trends and lack of support or feedback disguised as Writer’s Block.

You write to satisfy yourself. But if your content does not touch the hearts of your readers, your purpose behind writing will not get wings to fly to your dream goals. I learned all lessons by experimenting and after many failures. I would like to share them so that you may find it insightful.

Here are my five secrets to tackle with the Writer’s Block:

1. Write whatever comes to your mind. It is an easy, fun and interesting way to put your thoughts on paper. Many times brilliant ideas come to the mind in a flash and also vanish in no time. To grab such thoughts and use them is important.

2. Take a break. Writing exhausts your energy. You need a break to get fresh ideas. You may do many things like listening to your favourite music, dancing, walking and talking with friends to generate new content ideas.

3. Schedule a writing time. I write on Saturday and Sunday morning for the entire week’s posts. Every night and holidays are my favourite time for writing my books.

4. Read. I read whatever I have access to read without discrimination of genera. This validates my thoughts and exposes me to a wide range of topics where I can experiment and write.

5. Do not edit while writing. Editing takes more time and energy. I don’t mix them. While editing I can rewrite words,sentences, paragraphs or entire pieces of writing but during writing I stick to it only.

Thanks.
