Ok, what are you guys ideas to break a 'writer's block'?


message 2: by Just Plain Ray (new)

Just Plain Ray (Ray_of_Sunshine) | 2557 comments I listen to music. Usually I can't write unless I listen to music..

Or try writing random sentences, rants, ramblings, anything..it usually sparks a story idea.

Sleeping/day-dreaming works too, because when I sleep or daydream, I get really strange and exotic kinds of dreams, which usually spark ideas/plots.

Well, I usually just sit tight and wait it through. Don't give up on writing entirely, just don't worry about not making your usual.


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

thx.

Brigid ✩ | 1015 comments For me, I just sit down and kinda force myself to write. I find that usually when I have "writer's block" it's because I'm subconsciously holding back ideas because I think they're too stupid or they won't go anywhere ... and usually my subconscious is wrong. ;D


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

yea, i'm going to go try write soon.

Paige Miller | 4362 comments Ummm... I just try to relax and not think about it, just let my hands fly across the keys. Sometimes I'll just write something random and then try and focus on my stuck part, you know?


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

yep.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Usually, I surf through iTunes, find new people with new songs to listen to, and that usually sparks a lot of new ideas with me. I mean, me and music, *crosses fingers* we're like this!


message 14: by Sella (new)

Sella Malin Go take a shower.

No, I'm not kidding.

Most of my ideas have come to me when I'm in the shower. And when I'm stuck, the shower always gives me ideas that gets me back on track.

You should try it! :D
