Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Pick a book off you shelf and choose a random page and sentence!. Sit for ten minutes and write down anything and everything that the sentence make you think of or feel!. Don't hesitate to go off on any random tangent!. Most of what you write will probably be nonsense but chances are what you write might give you an idea or two!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Look around you and determine what inspires you, what moves you, what elicits an emotional response!. That which we feel we can write about best!. Once the flow starts, you can take it anywhere!. Let your passion be your inspiration!. Even if watching TV is your passion, write about that - in a very personal kind of way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Usually if I got writers block, I'll take a break and eventually I'll get an idea!. Sometimes all it takes to bust that block is to go back and erase a paragraph or two and create a newplot line, to keep readers interested!. Of course, nobody reads mine, so!.!.!. XD

Anyway, Good Luck! Maybe your book (or story for english) will be a 1# best seller! Maybe!. ^___^Www@QuestionHome@Com

unless your working under a deadline!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.walk away!.
the longer you sit there staring at a blank screen, the harder it is to write!. I've found, that If i hit a wall, i walk away, concentrate of something else and put the story from my mind, when i do come back, things just flow easier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

take a break to get your mind off of things!. it doesn't help if you try to force it!. hang out with friends or go to a different environment and maybe something will pop into your mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
