One of the best feelings in the world is when I feel inspired to write. Sometimes it comes when I'm out and can't reach a keyboard, and sometimes I'm lucky enough to be near a computer or journal. My fingers running across the keyboard, my mind moving a mile a minute. The rush of adrenaline I get as I finish page after page.

Unfortunately, this feeling is very rare. Relying on inspiration or motivation to write isn't always the best plan unless you're lucky and have some unlimited supply of inspiration. In that case, I envy you greatly. For some writers, however, it's a lot harder to write consistently. If you're like me, you go through periods of writing a lot every day, and periods of writing nothing at all for weeks or even months. Despite writing being a passion of mine, it can sometimes cause more frustration than it does joy. That's okay, it's normal. But if I ever want to finish anything, I need to be more consistent. I need to find a way out of my writing slump.

If you've suffered the same fate as me, hopefully, one of the methods below can help you out of your own writing slump.

Writing is no easy task, even for those of us who claim to love it. It's a tiring and intimidating task. However, there is nothing like the sense of accomplishment that comes with a good writing day. If you're like me, not writing comes with a certain sense of guilt that eats away at me until I finally write. Coming out of a writing slump can be hard, but in the end, it feels like breaking the surface of water you've been under for too long, and taking a glorious breath of fresh air.
