Dealing with writers block

 This post is mostly for a special someone that I discovered is having a rough go and is experiencing some intense writers block and is feeling pretty discouraged with #documentz @writers-edge. This post is dedicated to him.



If you don't know what writers block is;  the condition of being unable to think of what to write or how to proceed with writing. It is also described as:

Writers block is kinda like constipation of the brain - Jenna Moreci

There is so many different ways that you can overcome writers block. But not all of them will work. A short google search will find you things like "go for a walk" "free write" "get your blood flowing" "read". Yes some of those things might help you but chances are they won't do you much of any good.

Recognize everyone experiences writers block

 The first rule to overcoming writers block is to recognize that its not just yourself that experiences writers block, almost every writer has experienced writers block with ever it was only for a short 5 minutes to a couple of days. Everyone gets writers block from time to time. It is good to recognize that writers block happens to everyone, don't let yourself think that your writers block is only unique to yourself. Don't let your insecurity and anxiety take over your writers block! You got this!Take the blameSome people place the full blame of writers block on the characters that are in their story and blame them for causing them to have writers block. Nothing is blocking you from writing assuming you have access to a piece of paper or a computer. You are 100% capable to write. Nothing is blocking you other than yourself.

Your brain is being a asshole, you gotta correct that shit real quick - Jenna Morci

Be Consistent

Writers block won't just disappear in thin air, if you just sit around and wait for inspiration to come to you, you might be waiting for a nice while before you pick up the pencil and write. Be consistent with your writing, make it a habit. Make it a part of your day to day life. It will help you become extremely productive and help your odds verses encountering writers block!

Write.

The most guaranteed way to overcome writers block is to write. Even if you think your ideas aren't valuable and won't go any ware; you are probably wrong. You won't know till you put your ideas on paper or on the screen. You wont get out of this writers block unless you start to write.

Your first draft is probably going to suck. You need to be okay with writing shit because at least shit is something. - Jenna Moreci

 So there it is the magical formula to get out of that pit of a writers block. Remember if you don't use what I shown you, chances are it your fault. I believe in everyone that's reading this. You are not a shit writer. We are all on different levels. Focus on leveling up by writing everyday. you got this.
