What are some techniques that u use to get out of writers block?

Question

i haven't written in a while yet i have so much to say...

Answer 1

I walk through an area full of nature or drive through a town at night. Those are just the kind of things that get my emotions to write going because they are calming and what not. Also I write very late at night because I feel more drained so it's easier to let me feelings out.

Answer 2

Writer's block is just your brain telling you that you're not really in the mood. If you "really" want to write, then you can write about anything. You can write about a can of soup, a broken fingernail, a door, a window, a chair... there is no end of subjects, and they don't have to have any specific meaning at the time you start writing. You can look at your hand and start writing about how beautifully crafted a hand is...then suddenly you're thinking how much it looks like your child's hand, or your mother's hand, and suddenly the poem's going in an entirely new direction. What you need is the "desire" to write, the subject won't really matter because you'll be writing about something only implied by the subject anyway.

So, if you have writer's block, go to a movie, get a good night's rest, and sit in front of your computer or a blank page and just start writing.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as "writer's block." There is "writer's readiness" and the opposite is "unreadiness." When a person is ready to write, he/she either is visited by his/her muse and some kind of magic happens, or a person can just move into writing, almost as if one were moving from one place to another, naturally. When a person is not ready to write, most often it is because the person is in an emotional or mental state, or even a physical state, that is unresolved. For me, I try to drill down into what is bothering me...what is unresolved. I write about what is unresolved. I drill down into it. I find it releases me. It might not be what I want to write about, but that doesn't matter. Out of drilling down into what is unresolved, I often find I move past it and flow more easily into other writing. Some people call this writer's block. I don't. I think it is a negative connotation that people get stuck in. So channel into those myriad disturbing little things that are picking at your brain and keeping you up at night and exorcise them. See what happens. You'll be surprised to learn once you put those demons to rest you can move forward.

Answer 4

As a freelance writer, I have my bouts with writer's block. Remember writer's block is just a state of mind. Nothing more. Use creative prompts. I've written complete stories that started with a seven-word prompt. Read this and fill in the blanks: The blood trickling from my finger looked like...

Answer 5

I walk away. I pack up my computer and put everything away and get lost in something. It can be playing with my little boy, talking with my teenage daughter, sewing, reading, making love, anything. The point is to get away from that blank page/screen and go back when you get a simple idea of a great ending or a great line or something pretty.

If you have a great story to tell start there.

Good luck and the walls will come down.

Answer 6

There is Brainstroming, where you write down any and all ideas and things. Then there is clustering, where you can see how one idea goes with another and so on. Or you can start to write one paragraph about anything, then pick the best sentence and continue the process again and again; however, you MUST NOT repeat any of the sentences that you wrote beforehand.

Answer 7

Concentrate on the most emotional event that's happened to you, and go with it.

Answer 8

Listen to music, you could get inspired to write.
