What to do when you have writer's block?

When I get writer's block, it is just the worst thing.
In this document, I will be telling you all how to overcome it.

Now, we all know writers get it sometimes - and when we do, it often discourages us. In personal experience, I know that I walk around my apartment, gliding as though a ghost, knowing that I shall never succeed in being a writer.

Well, then, if you think so too, then let me break it to you - we are all wrong!
For example, I began writing a story not too long ago about a girl called Mira East. And what do you think? I have already pretty much given up on it.

And, oh, how it hurts me!
But here are some examples on how to overcome writer's block, and how to get back into business - also known as D.W.
Dreaming
and
Writing.

1. This is just to simple - perhaps you have to wait a day, a week, or eleven months and thirty days. But it often exhausts us to not know the deadline, and so, I always tell myself - "Sandra, just wait a month and see! If you don't feel like it, start another story!"

2. Another thing is - just get outside! Maybe it's a trip with your friend's dad that inspires you, or the conversation you overheard about your cousin getting a new motorbike. And whenever you hear an interesting word, then - alas - jot it down! I also recommend having a small pocket-notebook everywhere you go.

3. Read a few books. I, personally, give up on my stories FAR TOO OFTEN, and I often get stressed about this realization. Maybe I simply have to read a page or two of Stephen King's "IT" - or perhaps I just feel like buying a thin volume of "sweet ol' poetry". Whatever it is, I so love to read - and you should, too!

4. Talk to friends, family, or just people you know. For example, my parents are great critics; they support my hobbies just wonderfully, but when I make a mistake - or when something doesn't make sense - they always make sure to tell me. This is such a relief, for not many people have the heart to criticise others - and it is a true gift that I would love to someday master. Now, all I've got to do just now is to teach myself how to criticise people in a friendly, tender way.

5. You could also jot down ideas on why you have writer's block - why or who made you give up on your story. You may instantly feel better, and then you will at least have a vague idea of what you have to improve on when writing next.

Now, thank you for reading this so much...
Best wishes,
Sandra

I hope I helped you!
