5 More Ways to Overcome Writer's Block - Comments

I usually take a break for a few days. After that, something that I found out works for me is to just start writing. I think I don't have ideas or know where I want to go with my story, but I make myself sit down and focus on it for a while and I can be surprisingly productive. Even if my writing in that session feels more labored and I'm not happy with it, usually I can go back to it the next day and revise it and get back into the flow.

I'm going to us this when the dreaded writers block comes to me.

So helpful!

I love this! Haha so handy and true. I actually do three of the five methods already, but the digging up and old story, I haven't tried. Maybe I should, when I have to face the horrible wall that is a Writer's Block.

I'll use these methods whenever I face the terrible writer's block. :)

Yes! The digging up an old story thing really works! Work on something old for a while, and suddenly you have inspiration for what you're currently working on. Sure-fire way to test your creativity.

this is great

I came here because it's 10 at night, I've been staring at a partially blank computer screen, and my mind feels just as blank as the page. Hopefully sleeping on it will help, and these suggestions are really good, so I'll try a few. Great article! =)

^_^ I've been having a bad case of writer's block for awhile now, but these writing tips, including the ones from the last article have helped me out a lot. Thank you. ^_^

I'm always good at getting out of writers block and most times, I never get it. But this is good. My writers block usually lasts for about a day or sometimes a month. But it's okay, because I always get back to it. But that was a good tutorial because I found that when I know what's going to happen from beginning to end of a story, it's harder for me to get a writers block, because when I do that, I start to formulate the events leading up to the climax/end. Then all the small details come along to help the story. Sometimes things change - usually the small details of a story - but it always has the same plot so it keeps me from having writers block.

But yes, good tutorial.

Awesome tutorial! When I come down with a case of writer's block, I usually watch a TV show or a movie that relates to what I'm writing. If that doesn't work, I spend time with my friends and family. They give me inspiration with conversations, stories, and different interactions. I got my "Switched at Birth" fanfic idea by watching the show and learning more ASL with my older sister
