7 Tips To Survive Writer's Block

Anyone who writes knows that moment you realize you are in the middle of a major block. You lose the will to write altogether. It is not like you do not enjoy writing or do not want to in theory. It is knowing that you have no clue what to write about or any inspiration to even attempt to create.

Do not give up!

This is the most important tip. Do not give up all together. It is easy to let a break turn into a year without picking up a pen.

Change your location

Go to a new coffee shop, find a new library, check out a new place on campus or head to a local park. Change up your location and take time to explore it!

Write anyways

Even it is not inspired or you never use it for anything. Just write. Write about your day or the imaginary spider you conjured up.

Find the perfect playlist

If you do not have the inspiration to make a playlist, search for one on Spotify. Use things like "writing", "writer's playlist", "coffee shop" and so on.

Pinterest 

This sounds like a great place to further distract yourself from writing, but trust me if you use it right you will find a lot of inspiration! Search for aesthetics, character aesthetics, artwork, travel locations and so on. Millions of pins await to be used as inspiration!

NaNoWrimo

The actual event may be in the month of November, but you could still use Nanowrimo tips and forms to regain inspiration. You could also use the idea to just force a word count and then revise later.

Make a list or write about your writers block

The option I am currently trying out.

Hopefully, you have found some ideas to try out the next time you face writer's block. Happy writing!

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year. Christmastime is a celebration, but have we forgotten what we are supposed to be celebrating? There is a reason the holiday is called Christmas. Not presentmas. Not Santamas. Not Swiftmas. Christmas.

What many people forget is that there is no Christmas without Christ. Not only is this a time to spend with your family and loved ones, it is a time to reflect on the blessings we have gotten from Jesus. After all, it is His birthday.
