WRITING INSPIRATION - How To Escape Writer's Block
More often than not, we writers fall victim to the inevitable writer's block... A slump that feels near impossible to get out of at the time. If you find yourself in this situation, fear not! 
Below are 2 enjoyable, productive and simple ways to save yourself from giving up on your writing goals.1. While writing Pembrim, The Hidden Alcove I found myself staring at my laptop for hours, unable to think of a single word to write. That, my friends, is when I met my good ol' pal, Writer's Block, which is less like a friend, and more like a sassy ex girlfriend that comes out of nowhere to drag you back down just as you're feeling content and well. 
Days would pass, the coffee would eventually run out, and by this time, you've accomplished nothing. Of course, I knew where the story was going, so that's when I said to myself... Move on. And, that's what I did. I left the entire chapter blank and continued writing from a part that excited me. 5,000 words were written that day and IT FELT AMAAAZING. I broke up with Writer's Block and try as she might, she never got me back.2. Sometimes all our imagination needs is a refreshment, a new scenario, one that gets our creative senses tingling. I'm going to write an example, and at the end, I will leave it up to you to solve. How will you get out of this mess?***
SCENARIO 1: You've just travelled through space and time to land upon planet Vasna, only to find this creature - a male perricrest - staring at you with concerned eyes, a face painted only with judgement and shoulders recoiling in disgust. You watch him much the same. The sound of his claws scratching against the branch echoes. Drool falls from his lip as his mouth opens, "What on Vasna is that thing?" came a deepened, almighty voice from his tiny frame. You try to speak but before you can, the jungle starts to move, the trees pick themselves up by their branches and stand sentinel around their micro-Lord. "The trees are alive," you gasp. "Capture it! It will feed my young for weeks," orders the perricrest, pointing at you. His mouth curves at the corners to the thought, he's almost itched his branch in half from excitement, and he stays staring at you through glassy eyes, awaiting your death.- What do you do? Remember, we are writers, our options are limitless!
