Writer's block is something that every writer faces from time to time. You know that you can write, but somehow you just cannot get started. So you sit there blankly, with a pen on your hand or your computer open and ready to type.
This has happened to me so many times. The following tips have helped me get through it and reduce the chances of it happening again;
1. Find a great space to write from.
Some places don't support your writing. Being in a noisy club, trying to write in the living room where children are playing or when you are not sitting comfortably makes it so hard to write. So move to a more comfortable and silent room.
2. Avoid distractions.
Your phone, TV, a movie or friends who want to go out are the greatest distraction a writer can have. The best way to deal with a distraction is to avoid them, not tolerate them.
3. Practice writing often.
The more you write daily, the better you are at being consistent. So make a habit of writing even when you don't feel like it. Just get started, write anything and you will find yourself building on something. After all, you can always come back and edit the work.
4. Build a reading character
Avid readers are more likely to find writing easy. Reading has a way of keeping your creative juices writing. So make a habit of reading something daily.
