Ahhh Writers Block - what to do ?

                        Writer's Block

Writer's Block sneaks up in different guises -

·      Your story comes to a full stop.

·      You have the time to write but make excuses not too.

·      The paragraph just won't flow.

·      You can't decide what the main character would do in this situation.

·      You have written the first two books in the trilogy- no idea what to write for the third.

·      ...and I'm sure there are more...share them?

 

Sadly a bulldozer or drain cleaner will not solve the problem.
So what can you do?
People have different techniques - here are some -

·      Tuck the storyline problem into a corner of your brain and go and do some exercise.

·      Sit and wait.

·      Meditate.

·      Sleep on it.

·      Talk to your character, ask them what's going on, what would they like to do?

·      Re read the last chapter.

·      Highlight the problem paragraph for a later look and continue.

·      Write an silly version of the chapter, forcing your character to make the wrong choices.

·      Find an inspirational piece of art or music, let your mind wander.

 

Any more solutions would be great.
