How to Get Through Writers block

Writers block… it sucks. You know that felling, when you’re writing a paper, you’re on a role, words are just following from your mind onto the paper and then suddenly you stop. You hit a wall a blank, white empty wall, and you can’t think of anything, you try to rack your brain but can’t find any words, it sucks. But there are a few ways that I have found to beat writers block.

My first idea is go do something else creative. I know it sounds very cliché but it does work. Go take an hour to two hour break and just completely ignore the paper. On your break go do something make food, read a book, or do what I do go play video games. I personally believe that if you take a little break you can find some inspiration and go back to paper with a fresh mind. But if this doesn’t work there are still a few more options.

The second idea that you can do is talk to others. I know that when I write and get stuck, if I can’t think of anything I always go and ask someone else for ideas. Other people can have great ideas, they can give you other opinions or look at your paper from a different angle and give you more ideas. Still if this doesn’t work there is one more idea that I have that might work.

If you can find anything more to write about maybe just change your subject. Now the reason why I put this idea last is because you can’t always change the subject you’re writing but if you can change the subject maybe you just might need to. Maybe you just can’t find the right words to get your point across or maybe you can’t find anything more to write if both of these are reasons why your stick then maybe it is time for a subject change. But this last one is a little shaky because like I said you can’t always change your topic so use this one as a last resort.

So yes writes block does suck, but there are still ways that you can battle it. I know that sometimes it may feel that you can’t do anything about writes block, so I do hope that this blog does help some people out.
