As writers, we have many thoughts that run through our head every minute of every day, but there are so many times that we also get writer's block and we can have long stretches where we can't write anything. I am a writer, I am currently writing a poetry book and I try to journal daily, but I have gone months without writing.
I'm so blocked and when I try to write down what I'm thinking it doesn't translate to paper right. Here are some tips that can help us writers write more.
1. Clean Space

Have a clean space to work, if your writing space is cluttered then your mind will be cluttered, so having minimal things around you will help you think better.
2. Inspiration

People are going to tell you that your writing sucks, and thats ok not everyone is going to like what you write, but criticism makes us better as long as we don't let it get to us.
