When it comes to writer’s block, we have all faced it. That moment where you just stare at a blank canvas unsure what to do next. While having an outline can help with writer’s block, and even planning the writing out itself, sometimes you are just stuck with no way to move forward.
There are several things that you can try to overcome writer’s block.
Just Start
Sometimes just starting with something is a good path. It may not be good or perfect, but it does get you into a flow. Revising can come much later. You may write it and choose to change it, but at least you are doing something.
Change locations
Change up your writing routine. If you write in your bedroom, go outdoors. Or go to the local coffee shop. Change your scenery around you to spark some new ideas.
Change the outline
Change up your outline. Or outline just that one section. For example, I may want to create an outline for an entire scene by detailing what happens when. Describe setting. Give reason why they are in that setting. Give the details of what happens in a minute-by-minute and play-by-play commentary.
Writer’s block doesn’t have to be an issue. Just get creative with how you deal with it.
