If you're a writer like me, you know exactly what its like when the dreaded writers block sits in and you just can't motivate yourself to finish that article, or that story project for your writing class. So what do you do? Hell if I know, but maybe this list will help.
Look Up Some Writing Prompts
You'd think this one would be obvious, but let me tell you, you can find some strange and interesting prompts out there. You'll be writing something - it may not be what you intended to write but hey at least the block has been broken. Can't find any good prompts out there? Try this generator.
Get Rid of Distractions
Obviously you need some distractions, say a warm kitten in your lap, but some things you could do without - like the banging dub-step music throbbing in your room. Unless it really inspires you, then I guess go for it but I've never heard of a writer that enjoys migraines while they write - but I'm getting off topic....
Take A Break
Oh yeah, you heard me right. Get your favorite bath bomb, close your eyes and chillax. There is no better medicine for a writer than to take a break. No one got anything done by going and going without stopping. Take care of yourself and your upcoming novel will take care of itself.
Try Collaborating
Even if you don't play well with others, there's no harm in at least trying to collab. With someone else to bounce ideas off of with, your writer's block won't stand a chance. Two heads are always better than one - maybe you'll even help out another fellow writer in the process.
The most important thing is to keep writing - never give up! Even if you must write trash, write it and then clean it up later. There is no such thing as bad writing, only unedited writing.
Write on.
