A cure for writer's block???

Question

I am a musicain and I write a lot of my own songs but lately I've been experiencing writer's block. This has never happened before.... Any tips?

Answer 1

just keep writing! especially if you don't feel like it. you don't have to worry about writing anything lyric-worthy...just write whatever comes to mind. try keeping a journal. you might find that once you get started, ideas start flowing. and even if you just end up with 30 pages of nonsense, you might find one line that you really like. from there, you can expand upon it.

tons of writers (of all kinds) suggest this. i'm a writer, and i force myself to do it. it works pretty well.

Answer 2

Each person has his/ her own way of defeating the horrid writer's block. For me, I will take a break, read a book, and even go for a walk. Sometimes, doing household chores will awaken the inner writer.

Answer 3

Yes. As a writer of both fiction and non-fiction, I often experience writer's block. I find the best cure is to just back away from it and occupy myself elsewhere. Once the pressure is off, something will inspired me. Sometimes trying too hard causes us to lose the creativity. I find this to be particularly true when a deadline is quickly approaching. Just relax, take a breather, and something will inspire you to continue.

Answer 4

writers block is a competent subject, have confidence it or no longer. it skill you have made this type of competent plot, with twists and turns, and new discoveries, which you cant settle on what to do with the subsequent area. I even have been writing my e book for about 0.5 a year and have 23 pages carried out. I write fairly much on a daily basis for about an hour. I even have deleted entire chapters, and a few cases the whole e book. good success.

Answer 5

~yes! just until you finish doing what Im about to suggest to you, don't think about writing a song...
now, go grab a pen/pencil & a piece of paper (or use your pc)
and just start writing about what's on your mind right this minute, and don't stop writing.
just a hint: right this minute I feel nothing. I have nothing to say because Im all tapped out. Im all tapped out because...
God bless you Sweetheart. sometimes its just in Gods time not ours...

Answer 6

When I can't think of anything to write I check out writing prompt websites to give me some ideas. Here are a couple links:
