Question:

What Are Some Ideas For Writer's Block?

I don't have it now, but I know that I, and many answerers of this question will have it. Post any and all Idea's, please. Give me the original and unoriginal, anything you got.

PS: I already have the book The Writer's Block by Jason Rekulak, which is very helpful, but please don't suggest it as an answer.

In response to Happenstance: My grandfather is a Cancer patient, and my parents took away internet, video games, TV, sleepovers, happiness, breathing...etc on weekdays, but I like your thinking.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Just write. Honestly, it is that easy and that hard.

Start writing about anything (not just your chosen topic for the project you are working on).

Journaling about your day, what you see and do.

Jot down ideas as they come to you, then elaborate on the idea during your writing time.

Don't edit yourself. Just write. You'll break through the barrier.

Go do something else. Take a shower, inspiration always seem to come when you can not write something down.

Mindmap-brainstorming map. Just write down all the details that you associate with your topic. Then choose one to start writing about.

Another good book is Making A Literary Life by Carolyn See.

Hope this helps (in the future)!
