Writers block

I have to give myself a break. When I am writing continuously, I forget to eat so when I can't think of a right word or can't seem to complete a certain sentence the way I'd want it, I grab something to eat. Replenishing my stomach replenishes my brain too. LOL! But this only works for short-term writer's block. There was a time when no creative juices were coming in so dropped off everything and went on a vacation. When I came back, I have all the energy to write again.

Like the others, I also do something else to free my mind from the frustration of not being able to write something. I know that the words are just lurking beneath the surface, and so I just have to wait it out. Music helps me as well to soothe my brain and it inspire me as well. Good luck to all of us to getting rid of writer's block!

I have to be in the right mood for writing, whether its lyrics, music, scripting, or just plain letters. If i hit the block, i just switch off and do something different. Pushing yourself is just going to make it more difficult and often suppress your best work meaning a poorer output.

I think all writers have had writer's block on at least one project of theirs. I used to get upset over it, but not so much anymore. It's a natural transition from having very little to having something great. It's just all a matter of time. I listen to music and that has helped me out a lot. Watching a lot of great movies help to for my screenplays. I always make sure I put myself into character's heads when I'm creating their personalities.

Hi- Yes, I understand completely. I have those times when my brain just doesn't seem to conjure up an original thought and words refuse to flow. I usually have to get away from writing and do something completely different. For example, I love to piece quilts, so I will work on whatever project I have already started or I'll begin a new one. I also seem to have brand new thoughts and better continuity when I enjoy the outdoors, so I'll take my girls to a park for the day and just enjoy them and God's creation. For me, the key is dropping my writing altogether and making my brain "think" differently. That always seems to help. I hope you get your "words" back! :)
