A Terrific Way To Get Over Writers Block
Most writers experience the dreaded writer’s block at some point in their careers. Some even have it more often than not. They sit in front of their computer screen for hours and not so much as a single paragraph gets written. What are some good ways to overcome writer’s block?
This and many other writers have found a great way to overcome writers block. They just give up on their assignment and do some creative writing for a little while. The idea is not to have any goal in mind, but just to write for the fun of it. Suspense books are fantastic for getting the juices flowing – they’re exciting and engaging and you can get lost in the creative process writing them.
Now, instead of sitting there trying to think of a great plot, just choose anything. Glance around the room and pick an object – any object – and start from there. What about that stack of scrapbooking papers stashed on your shelf? Make those central to your plot.
Here’s what you might do for your opening paragraph: ‘It was a day like any other day until the enigmatic note, written on a sheet of handmade paper, was slipped under his door.’ Now write the first thing that pops into your head. Maybe the note was from a secret admirer or maybe it was from a debt collector. It’s your call!
Keep going with every thought that the images evoke. Was the note from a woman who says she has erotic fantasies about you and wants to arrange a rendezvous? Of course, you’re tempted, but is she for real or is somebody trying to trick you? You know you can’t resist, but you also know you’re going to have to be careful.
Hopefully, you’ve got your real writing assignment open in front of you. Stop working on your novel and get back to your assignment. Your mind is open to any possibility now, so the ideas should be flowing like mad. Ten minutes ago you couldn’t think of a thing to write. You were supposed to be describing the Giro Ski Helmet, but just couldn’t think of a way to make it sound interesting. Now, however, your character is going to need to have a good ski helmet to protect him in case his romantic interlude turns deadly!
You will be surprised at how well this technique works! If you’re writing somebody’s thesis, you’ll find a way to fit the thesis into your plot. Some of the best thrillers ever written were about technical themes like the chemistry of perfume. Try it! It’s fun and is a guaranteed way to get over writer’s block!

Better Dayz $10.26 2Pac’s been dead for more than six years, and in that time his estate has released a dizzying array of questionable posthumous material–with much more to come in 2003, by the way (the liner notes list documentary soundtracks, another unreleased double album, DVDs, etc.). On the first disc’s “Intro,” an unnamed street reporter wonders, “Where are these songs coming from?” After repeated listens, y… |
