Every writer out there knows the excruciating feeling of being filled to the brim with creative energy but having nothing to write on the page. Your fingers are itching to create something... anything.. just, something to fulfill your desire to create. Alas, your brain cannot come up with anything that suits your craving. Now, you're staring at a blank page and you're getting angrier and angrier. Instead of getting up and ignoring the energy that has been brewing for so long, use some of these inspiration ideas/writer's block prevention tactics to hopefully conjure an idea that you like.

1. Turn your music on shuffle and use the music to create a story.

For example, if the first song to come on is Ariana Grande's Side to Side, brainstorm a character that is infatuated with someone that everyone has told her is bad news. Next, create a backstory for that new character. From there, use other songs to create a storyline for the two. Let the music dictate your story.

2. Write about your life through an outsider's perspective.

Ever wonder what people think when they see you? Make yourself a character and describe yourself in the perspective of someone else: a friend, family member or total stranger. If you don't feel comfortable writing about yourself, write about a friend, family member or acquaintance through someone else's perspective. Play around with the description.

3. Write about a character from your favorite television show, book or movie.

Are you stuck imagining an original character in your head? Write about one that has already been created for you. Give Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games a new adventure, or write a case for the "Criminal Minds" team. The fun part will be taking these characters that you already adore and transforming them into your own story.

4. Change locations.

This may sound silly, but physically moving can really help with writer's block. Are you alone? Walk to somewhere that's crowded. Observe some people and write about what you see. Turn the girl sitting alone at a table in the dining hall into your new protagonist. Are you around people? Go to a quieter place where you can focus in on what's on your mind. A change in surroundings can really help.

5. Describe your favorite celebrity.

Take this person and turn them into your new character. Either focus on physical traits or personality characteristics, but turn this celebrity into the focus of your story. Talk about his or her endeavors in Hollywood, or maybe even turn them into a regular person and describe his or her experiences in a small town.

6. Imagine yourself as a celebrity.

Instead of focusing on an existing one, try and think about what your life would be if you were famous. Would you sing? Act? Play a sport? Brainstorm what your famous future would be and try and write about it. What celebrities would be in your inner circle? Who would be your famous best friend or significant other?

7. Make a playlist for your future character.

Yes, I'm back to talking about music. You know how certain songs just relate so well to you? Well, take songs that would relate to your budding character and make them into a playlist. Listen to that playlist. While focusing on the lyrics of each song, create more of a personality and background for this character and develop relationships for this character.

8. Go back through your texts (old or recent) and write a short blurb about one.

Embarrassing messages to an old crush? Your mom yelling at you for a misunderstanding? Someone you don't even talk to anymore claiming that she is your best friend? Use these as inspiration for a quick blurb. Write about the situation of that message, or even create a new, wild backstory.

9. Imagine the world 20 years in the future or the past. Write about what you think your life would be like.

Are you a history buff? Great, then try and place yourself back in time. Try and figure out how your modernized world would shift without technology or trends that are common today. Don't like history? No worries, do the opposite. Try and imagine what new advancements will be the new norm in 20 years. Think about how your life would change and write about it.

10. Don't want to talk about people? Take an item nearby and describe it in great detail.

Yes, I do mean the mini stapler on your desk or the coffee mug that is begging to be washed. Analyze each and every detail of it. Describe the way that light reflects off of the surface, or how its shadow is so well-defined against the surface of the table. Go crazy. Go overboard.

11. Go for a walk until you find a location that inspires you.

Sit down and describe this location as best as you can. You can either focus on the little details, like the way a leaf falls from a tree, or on the general scene. You can also use this new location as a place in a story if you get that type of spark.

12. Focus on something that makes you happy, or maybe even sad.

The best form of creativity stems from deep-rooted emotion. Think about something that puts a smile on your face. If you can't find inspiration there, then maybe try and think about something that upsets you. It will be painful, but maybe, just maybe, it'll help you create an amazing masterpiece.

These are only a few ideas to try and get the juices flowing in your brain when you are stuck in the rut of writer's block. There are millions of others ways to try and come up with an idea that will satisfy your needs. If after trying all of these methods and more you are still stuck, take a step back, take a deep breath and relax. The paper will be waiting for you when you do come up with something brilliant.
