When that happens, I'll shift gears and write about something else, then come back to the first topic. Sometimes, conducting research on a topic or time period will generate ideas.

And then there's always journaling ... writing about being stuck or writing about my feelings of inadequacy (that what I write doesn't matter and who would want to read it anyway) acts as a kind of catharsis. Once those feelings are on the page, they're dealt with and I can move on.(less)

Read everything you can get your hands on. And when you read, think about why the author made the choices he or she made, what works for you and what doesn't. And write about everything. Keep a journal to write your thoughts down, keep track of daily events, and jot notes. Practice, practice, practice. You will eventually develop your own, unique voice as well as confidence in your work. (less)

On Writing Craft — Why to Use a Variety of Sentence Lengths

On Writing Craft — Why to Use a Variety of Sentence Lengths

ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE AH-HA MOMENTS during my MFA in Creative Writing program occurred after a professor assigned us the task of writing a nonfiction story with alternating sentence lengths. We were to rotate very short sentences, from two to six words in length, with very long sentences, at least thirty words. The longer the better.
