Writer S Block
Writers Block this is probably the biggest enemy of all the writers in the world. Writers block is simply a condition wherein you cant put any of your thoughts into words. Its a horrible condition. It comes at the worst possible times like when you have to submit before the due date. They can happen any time. They can happen before you even start, or smack in the middle of your work, or worse, in the ending. Also, its so hard to get over a writers block. Some writers blocks last for only a few minutes but the worst ones last for days, even months. There have even been cases of writers blocks lasting for decades.
Causes of Writers Block
Writers block is primarily caused by lack of inspiration. Of course, if youre not inspired, its so hard to write anything. For example, youre supposed to write about how good the government is. But you know quite well that the government isnt good. So, youre not inspired to write about it. It may also be caused by lack of creativity. Lets just face it. Some people have the talent, and some people simply dont.
Sometimes, we experience writers block because we simply dont know what to write or how to write it. Some people can put their thoughts into words better than other people. Some people have to struggle with their thoughts before they can put it into words, and these people are usually the ones who suffer writers block. Depression can also be a cause. If youre depressed, you usually have no motivation to do anything. It is also extremely hard to concentrate on what youre writing if youre depressed.
Overcoming Writers Block
Overcoming writers block can be hard. But it is not impossible. There are actually a lot of things which you can try so that you can overcome writers block.
Nature is the creative souls haven. This is why most writers love living near lakes, forests, or beaches. Nature is a great source of inspiration for writers. It can also invigorate the spirit. So, when youre having writers block, you can try taking a walk or a swim.
You can also try to write whatever comes into your mind in a piece of paper. Dont worry about form, creativity, grammar, or even spelling. Just let your hand and your mind loose. Just write whatever enters your brain. Its a great way to let your thoughts out.
A story is one of the hardest things to write. Writers often forget what they are supposed to write next. Sometimes, they can veer away from the plot and completely ruin the story. So, it would be helpful if you write an outline of the plot first so that you wont get sidetracked.
If nothing works, and your writers block is still there, dont fret. Maybe youre worrying too much and you just need to relax. Dont force yourself to write. This will only worsen your writers block. Take a break. Maybe your brain just needs to rest.
BONUS : Writers Block: Writers Resources To End Writers Block
Writers block is one of those mysterious ailments that is blamed for late assignments, missed deadlines, and failed dreams. Some people claim it is merely a myth while others find it plagues their writing.
As someone with more than two decades of professional writing, editing and teaching experience I feel quite strongly that in 99.9 percent of reported cases of writers block are nothing more than a chimera. In my opinion, far too many would-be writers spend far too much time and energy on finding the right computer, program, paper, pen, location, mood-setting music, and the like before they can begin writing when that time and energy would be much better spent on simply getting down to the business of writing. These would-be writers treat their muse as something delicate and breakable, something as elusive and fleeting as smoke.
I know from years spent in the hurly-burly of newspaper reporting and snatching moments to write between deadlines and dinner dishes that a muse worth keeping is made of much tougher material and in fact may benefit from some abuse.
Most often writers block, or what is commonly referred to as writers block, is caused by one of three problems--lack of preparation, lack of training, and lack of development. Lack of preparation is often caused by not creating an individual writing process that can take advantage of your writing strengths and help overcome your writing weaknesses. Lack of training is similar to athletic training--you need to warm up and work out on a regular schedule to keep your writing muscles in top condition. Lack of development simply means that your particular idea may need more time to percolate or perhaps you are not ready to tackle that particular topic at the time.
I have three recommendations to help you work through writers block. First is to simply write through it. Give yourself permission to write garbage and focus on simply creating a really rough draft. Often once you stop worrying over all that is wrong with your writing the words will begin flowing again.
A second method of dealing with writers block is to get moving. Take a walk or hike. Do something physical away from your office or desk and do not let yourself return to the scene of the crime (or writers block) until several hours have passed. You might be surprised what your brain works out in the interim.
Finally, exercise and challenge your writing muscles with writing prompts and exercises. Sometimes simply changing the pace of your writing or your subject matter can be enough to help you work through your difficulty.
Remember, every writer experiences some form of writers block from time to time but you do not have to make a mountain out of a molehill. Working out an effective strategy to circumvent writers block when it strikes is one of the most important skills a real writer can develop.
