When I get writers block I either try reading for awhile instead or I switch off from original works and write a quick bit of fanfiction

[cherrystark]

Like @WillowTree I go onto do something different: read, watch TV, cook, go on a walk, even writing something else. Flash fiction is really good to get the creative juices flowing.

WRITER'S BLOCK!

Either you take a break and relax a little or find something to get you motivated like play video games, listen to music, read a book or comic or watch your favorite movies. Help you get into that creative mind zone.

I usually start studying or reading something that is not "artistic" in nature, like a history book. Usually doing something like this makes your mind wonders and find inspiration.

Do you have an idea of what needs to happen next? If you don't, it is a good idea to just think about it and write it down in a simple way to give yourself a road map and connect the dots.

If it's the writing itself that gives you trouble, it's just a matter of patience. The right words will eventually come. Sometimes it will not be perfect though, so it's good to leave it for a few days, then come back and retouch it.

Read. All. The. Things.

Seriously. Read until you feel like you’re gonna burst, and then let all the words out as you write. It’s my tried and true version of “what goes in must come out.” As a forewarning, there’s not a specific amount of time or words to make this work. Sometimes I’m ready to write after an hour and sometimes it takes me 4 days. But I really do think this is one of the best ways of dealing with writer’s block because it doesn’t stress me out. It lets my brain fully focus on something else and relax in its own time.

I like to go out driving and walking around. Listening to music that correlates to the tone of the part you're trying to write or even just music that accompanies your novel in its entirety can be helpful. That's something I do anyway ^^ But I think as a few people have already have mentioned, it's good to take a breather Come back to it, it works for artwork as well. I work on pieces for 6-8 hours sometimes and I find it's always better when I work on it in shorter bursts and come back to it with a clearer and new perspective Much love, hope your writers block disappears soon!

[WillowTree]

Yes music is a great way to inspire words! I've been listening to Wildflowers by Tom Petty while writing a kind of emotional scene and it's really helped me get in the right moodset for it!

[Sadboihours]

So sad music for sad things, "angry" music for bad things, etc?

[kmlangleyauthor]

Yes, literally set the tone.

[Sadboihours]

Hm. D'yall got any recommendations for like, just regular conversations ig?

[WillowTree]

Like, how to write dialogue you mean?

[Phantomlight]

@WillowTree Ooh, I'll check that song out. I listen to these even if they sometimes do not accompany a part I am writing at the moment or the overall theme of the novel I am writing, instrumental music just helps my creative mind flow better

They're good if you can't sleep too ^^
@Sadboihours Yes, exactly I hope something helps

[Sadboihours]

Lol yeah pretty much.
