How do you deal with writer’s block?

The key is seeing and observing and listening to and understanding what goes on around you. Then take this and write about it.

A lot of times you can start out by writing about the scene you're in: the pattern of the tablecloth on your dining table where you write, the green patina candlesticks on the table, the Van Gogh print on the wall.

I find myself getting pieces of dialogue and ideas for novels that come into my head at different times during the day. Carry a small journal to record this inspiration when it comes to you.

You don't have to write every day. You just have to write on a schedule that is consistent. It can be an hour a day in the morning or three hours a week.

I get ideas in my head all the time for things to write about. You can keep an ideas notebook about things you want to write about and choose one topic to write about on the days the writing doesn't come easy.

Plots of novels have come to me in dreams when I'm sleeping.

Take a walk. Develop a fitness routine. These things will give you mental muscle too.(less)

Writing and reading books and doing art and listening to music are things that matter to me because you can use your creativity to be successful in your life and you can use your creativity to overcome obstacles.(less)

Blog Entries

Hi everyone,

I had thought I would be able to post blog entries here every weekend. That hasn't panned out. I'm able however to write when I can to achieve quality over quantity here.

Today I'll write about the craft of writing.

Zadie Smith is famous for writing the first novel White Teeth. While I did not read that novel I read 50 pages of her novel The Autograph Man. The book bored me and I didn’t Read more of this blog post »
