Writing is one of, if not the most, crucial part of being an active steemian. But then there are those days when you suddenly lose your creative bone, you feel like you have used up all your creative thoughts, no more new work is going to get squuezed out of you. You want to give in and give up.
Raise your head, bud!
It happens to every writer, from the new to the masters of the pen. It could last a few minutes to a few lifetimes.
But fear not, after numerous writer's block attacks I have found numerous solutions to it.
Pick your fit and see what works the best for you.
Here are few solutions that worked for me:
• Start writing some time later. Maybe this isn't the time when the creative side of the brain feels like complying.
• Get physical. In the sense; go for a stroll or hit a set of jumping jacks. Your brain needs ample blood and oxygen pumped into it to the perform at it's peak.
Personally, I try to beat my personal record of push-ups.
• Find a new fav spot. Switch places and positions to find where you feel the most comfortable in.
• Chillax!. Grab a cup of tea, listen to your favourite genre of music, or just sit quite and let your thoughts flow.
Super hack
• Just start typing! Even if it's gibberish. If you do have a topic in mind, eventually you will find yourself on track. Omit the nonsesnse when you are done. (Make a chart of topics you would like to write about beforehand).
Ultimate hack
• Start from the end if you have the theme in your mind. Think of the conclusion, the ending, the cessation, whatever have you. Brick by brick, feed in the buildup to the conclusion and ta-da! you have reached the first word.
Writer's block - defeated!
That's one more blind spot uncovered from Blind's pot.
Have you ever faced writer's block? If so, how did you overcome it?
