Luna Wright
Write, write, and write some more. A lot of artists wait for inspiration or creativity to strike, and then end up never finishing their projects. Or they say they'll dedicate an hour or two a day to writing, but end up spending that time barely writing a few words. Neither of those techniques has ever worked for me.
The solution to writer's block in my experience has been setting a daily word count I must reach. Once I start writing, I'll eventually get into a groove once I've written enough. The magic number for me is 1000 words. If I tell myself I have to write 1000 words in a day, it might take me an hour or two if I'm already in the zone. If I'm struggling with writer's block, that goal could take six hours. But once I've written enough to meet the goal, I find that I'm back in zone once again, writer's block forgotten.
