Let's face the facts. All writers get writer's block every now and then. That time when 당신 글쓰기 and 당신 just stop because 당신 can't get any ideas. I write all the time, so I get Writer's block constantly. And news flash...it bites! But there are some things I do to overcome them. This is a little 기사 to help all my fellow writers out there!

1. Take a Break!

Believe it 또는 not, it helps to back away from the story for a little while. I mostly write at night when my parents are sleeping. When I get stuck, I sit in the recliner for a few 분 with my mp3 player and daydream. 더 많이 often than not, it helps me out!

2. Listen To Your Dreams!

As screwed up as some of my dreams are, they can sometimes be my creative outlet. Some of the things in my dreams give me ideas. I consider myself a 판타지 writer, so the stuff I see in my dreams helps me 의해 giving me a 설명 of a place in my story. For instance, Grunge Valley. A place in my story where the evil creatures lurk...

A land of eternal darkness. The skies are always grey and depressing. The valley was covered with thorns and decaying plants. In the distance, they could see the castle, tall and overpowering. An evil aura just seemed to reflect from it. How was it possible something could stand it here, Roni thought?

3. Media!

Another way to come up with ideas is to get them from your 가장 좋아하는 책 또는 movies. I'm not saying to completly copy the movie, that's illegal! I'm saying just take notice of a few things 당신 found interesting in them.

For example; I'm recently re-reading James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. A thing I like about the book is how he introduces the comedy. The way the book is written, I could easily see it as a TV show 또는 movie. I can see it easily in my mind.

Another example, in one of my 가장 좋아하는 movies, The Brothers Grimm, the movie is packed with hints from other fairy tales. When Jacob hides in the mattresses when the tower is collapsing (The Princess and the pea), the queen's evil mirror (Snow White), and the queen's insanely long hair (Rapunzel).

Your keywords: I like how they did that!

4. Write It All Down!

It doesn't hurt to daydream. But when 당신 get an idea, write it down 또는 record it. The idea may not seem like a good idea at the time, but if 당신 come back to it later, like if 당신 write another story, 당신 may like it. 당신 might even tweek it a little bit. I can't tell 당신 how often I drift off and wish I would have done something to remember it!

5. Brainstorm!

When writing, it helps if 당신 know what you'd like to happen ahead of time. Something that helps me are story charts. 글쓰기 down the chapter and 글쓰기 what happens in it is a good way. Another thing 당신 could do is to make a 나무, 트리 web. 당신 know, those annoying charts they make 당신 do in math class for square roots and factors? Only instead of numbers, make it a sequence of events.

I really hope my 기사 managed to help 당신 a little:)
