How many times have you sat at your PC, gearing, and ready to write, but nothing happens. You began to peck at the keyboards in an attempt to bring that vivid imagination to life, but nothing makes sense, sounds familiar, well you might be suffering from whats called "Writer's block".


It's happening again, "HELP",  I can't think of what I want to say. Your brains become scattered, and your words to your plot is jumbled, and poor. You just can't get out what you want to convey. What is happening to me, one might say, you stop, regroup, and still nothing is happening, you just can't get the right words to formulate. You began again after a break or two; I got it now, you say, but still to no avail, it's just not happening. Sounds all too familiar? It happens, you are not alone, all writers from time to time have had this sudden death that occurs when you least expect it, and it's called "writers block" no new phenomena, just a trip of the brain to pause. But writers beware help has arrived. You can break this cycle before it begins, here's how:

Tips:

1. Take a break, Removing yourself aways from the desk top will allow you to regain your thoughts before you proceed.

2. Figure out what is wrong, and address the problem. Many people think that writing comes easy, and that writing is magic, it isn't, it's a process that is develop, and takes time.

3. If writers block is persistent, it may be a form of anxiety, you may want to take a break from writing and come back to it when you think you are ready.

4. Talk to other writers. Other writers may help you and give you ideas on how they handled "writers block".

5. Assess your characters you are writing about, do a outline, and brainstorm.

6. Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up, it's not usual to have this happen.

7. Don't get discouraged, and continue to persevere when you think you can write.

8. Exercising in deep breathing exercises, and meditation may also be helpful.

9. Take a walk, and brainstorm your thoughts.

10. Lastly, love what you do, and know writing should be fun, and not stressful....because in the end lies a great imagination to be discovered.

~~~~~HAPPY WRITING~~~~~
