6 Ways To Crush Writer's Block
Pick The Brain

Writer's Block is the bane of every writer's existence. Unfortunately, it can strike at the most inopportune times (like right now, for me). If you seem to find yourself at a crossroads with what to write, here are a few tips to get you up and running with your creativity.

1. Take A Walk

Go outside, get some fresh air! Walking boosts creativity. I know that most of my inspiration comes from nature. Look at the beautiful blue sky against the green trees and find something wonderful to write about! If you live in the city, take inspiration from the beautiful skyline and the sparkling lights. There's always something to write about.

2. Get Suggestions From Friends

Honestly, sometimes your friends know you better than yourself. Get a second opinion on what they think you'd be great at writing and run with it. Sometimes that's the best way.

3. Look Up Writing Prompts

This is a sure-fire way to get your creative juices flowing. Writing prompts are awesome to get yourself into a headspace that will allow you to write your best. Find something that fits you and go!

4. Try The "Stream Of Consciousness" Approach

Sit in front of your computer and just type out everything you want to say in one continuous stream (don't worry, you can go back and edit later). Oftentimes this will be the most effective way to figure out what you really want to write about.

5. Listen To Music

Music is an amazing inspirational tool for anything. Turn on some of your favorite tunes and bust out a few paragraphs. It's easier than you think!

6. Try The "Who Am I" Exercise

Figure out who you are by listing your interests, your hobbies, your background, and the things you love most. You'll definitely find something to write that you'll relate to this way.

You know what's best for you when you start writing. You are the only one who can be uniquely yourself in an unadulterated way. Find your inspiration and let it take flight!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
