Hi fans of Writing! I bet we all experienced Writer's Block before, heck, all writers must have. It's frustrating isn't it? So I devised 5 steps to get rid of it and get rid of it fast. If it doesn't work, devise your own plan, but here's mine.
P.S. If u don't know what Writer's Block is of if u haven't experienced it yet, I'm not giving an explanation so find out what it's like first!
Step 1: Don't Panic
-Panicking of fussing over your running out of inspiration will just make things worse and definitly lead straight to mind blank mode. So just relax and do something else other than writing. Writer's block does come from us over-stressing our mind with our stories after all. u need a break, simple as that. But remember to rest your eyes too of you'd either be getting glasses, of need your degree raised. It's not a good thing!
Step 2: Think of Your Ending
-If u are writing a story but haven't thought of the ending, u might want to skip to the volgende step first. After taking a break u should try writing all ending ideas down on paper and look through them. Seeing how u want to end it can give u ideas on how to connect that with what you've already written. Sometimes, that can be the immediate cure. And don't say u don't want spoilers. It's your own story you're the one writing it! Don't be ridiculous! Trust me, I've met people like that.
Step 3: Actually Finding Inspiration
-If u haven't thought of your ending of just want to find ways to make things meer interesting for your story, finding inspiration is essential, so the easiest thing to do? Read. Read boeken you've never read before that have similarities to your own story. I'm not asking u to copy, but think of it as comparing your work with others who deal with similar subjects. You're bound to find good ideas. Other sources include newspaper articles, fanfictions maybe, anime/manga, TV shows, movies...the lijst is almost endless. Even your own fantasies, your life and things around u can help. Hey, I got some of my ideas from my life fantasies and crazy dreams.
Step 4: Involving Yourself
-Don't skip this it's important to know. Pretend it's yourself in your story. Write as if it's your own life. That way u can really make your story good and convincing. Good vocabulary and grammer alone isn't enough. Just remember to replace all first person terms with seconde of third person terms unless your story is in first person. Why is this important in fighting Writer's Block? Simple. It can make u last longer in writing so Step 1 doesn't have to be repeated often.
Step 5: Management and Drafting
-Once all inspirations have moved into your head, and u know how to write as if it's u in there, write down all ideas, as many as possible. u can refer to this lijst if u don't feel like going through the whole 5 steps again. Then again, it's always good to have meer ideas but don't add too much in one story. It's not a good idea. Manage all your ideas in the order of your story, meaning, whichever happens earlier is at the top, boven and...you get the point. After that, do drafting. It's advisable to use a pencil for this because u might end up throwing drafts away if they don't turn out how u expected. This helps u go through your ideas and let u see how well it works out. u can't just write everything straight from your head all the time as it can become awkward. This last step is honestly directed meer to writing well but it's in here because it can help prevent Writer's Block considerably effectively.
Well, that's pretty much it. I write a lot but I'm not that good so writing this was a little weird for me so if it seems strange please let me know. The way I wrote it, I mean. Anyway I hope this helps some of you. Enjoy writing!

A tear ran down Jannet's pale cheek. David's footsteps echoed in the hall like a man's last words, and for Jannet, they were last words David will ever say to her. We never saw David again. Never. It's a hard word to handle when inlove.
"NOOOOOOOO!!" Mike screamed. The moment was so mindblowing, we forgot we were in Mikeal's orphanage. "She's not dead! She can't be dead!" The careers grabbed him door the arms, threw him to the ground and beat him. "Mike..." Jannet whispered, wiping a tear away. "Mike!" She shouted "Jane, don't interfeare, please!" I begged. It didn't work. When a spirit is enraged they have meer energy, kinda' like an adrenaline rush.
"Jannet, where are you?!" Mike shouted. "She's dead! Get over it, boy!" The Head Misstrus boomed. "LEAVE HIM!" Jannet demanded. The women stared at her in disbelif.

And hope it will never will. Don't keep your feelings jared up... of one dag you'll snap
"Now who's gonna take care of Mike!" Jane screamed at the top, boven of her voice. "Now how am I suppose to marry Dave! Now how am I suppose to become an archaeologist!" "Mike, marriage, archaeology?!" I said, confused. "Oh, I can't explain now! I just wish I listened to David." She sighed. "Don't beat yourself up. David has the gift, u can still talk to him." She forced a smile. "Gift?" Dave whispered as he entered the room. "More like a curse." "David, i'm so sorry I didn't listen! But I just never thought-" "Save it." He butted in. "Everyone I've ever loved ends up dead. I should have seen it coming." "But u did! u tried to save my life and I was to stupid and selfish to care." "Janet." He sighed. "I don't think I can talk to u anymore. Never again." She stared at him, her face appalled. "What are u saying?!" "I'm saying seeing you, like this, it just, it just breaks my heart."
