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!

The leader, Miranda, looking like she stepped from a 17 magizine, as always.
This is a song inspired door Anastasia's Once Upon a December. Also, it's the main song for my novel-in-progress, Imaginary. It's a song in which one of the main characters sings to cheer her up when she's scared. And once I finally get the story geplaatst here, you'll actually see the depth and power and horror of the song.
Written door a friend of mine from school.
Midnight settles, darkness falls
Close your eyes and remember
Fallen angels always sing
Once upon a December
Blood is flowing and it's warm,
Life's nightmares are like a storm
Demons dancing gracefully
across my memory
Broken butterflies with torn wings
The pain they will always remember
Fallen angels, I hear them sing
Once upon a December.
Written door a friend of mine from school.
Midnight settles, darkness falls
Close your eyes and remember
Fallen angels always sing
Once upon a December
Blood is flowing and it's warm,
Life's nightmares are like a storm
Demons dancing gracefully

Broken butterflies with torn wings
The pain they will always remember
Fallen angels, I hear them sing
Once upon a December.
Scraping at the boughs,
Unknowns becomeths known,
Where shards break across my skin as my mind is shredded into nothing.
How did I get here?
How did I become this?
How do I get out?
Trapped inside a thousand mirrors,
Seeing so many façades,
Which one is me?
Carved up and bleeding,
Happy unconscious,
Pepped up to go?
Nails scratch into my brain,
As I pick apart memories,
For a clue.
An inkling.
An idea.
Lost!
I’m so lost!
Where do I fit in anymore?
Who am I?
And how did I wind up here?
Unknowns becomeths known,
Where shards break across my skin as my mind is shredded into nothing.
How did I get here?
How did I become this?
How do I get out?
Trapped inside a thousand mirrors,
Seeing so many façades,
Which one is me?
Carved up and bleeding,
Happy unconscious,
Pepped up to go?
Nails scratch into my brain,
As I pick apart memories,
For a clue.
An inkling.
An idea.
Lost!
I’m so lost!
Where do I fit in anymore?
Who am I?
And how did I wind up here?
I slammed the car door shut, and faced the school.
"Have a good dag sweetie," Mom said, somewhat hopefully from the drivers seat. Just the words made me want to ball up and cry. She drove away, leaving me in the dust. I would not survive this day.
Not that I deserve to.
I clutched my boeken to my chest, and tried to keep my eyes fixed on the ground. But I still felt their eyes on me.
"Bitch," they muttered.
"She deserves to die," others said. Didn't they know I want to? Didn't they know how much strength it took to keep breathing? And when I did, it was the everlasting pain that nearly brought me to my death. But I could only hope.
But they didn't know this. They just knew it was my fault. And it was. It was all my fault for what had happened.
And I'd live with this guilt till I die.

Please let me know if I should continue this; I don't know if I should.

I need to find a name for my character. She is a twelve jaar old girl with short, kinda boyish blonde hair. She has a curious and Mischievous personality and a tomboyish attitude. She loves Music, she plays Piano and gitaar and can play the Saxaphone really well. She is also very good in school. She has green eyes and likes to draw and write. Her main flaw is when she makes mistakes she has trouble realising that she is only human, and humans make mistakes. I am trying to find a good name but I am having a lot of trouble. Please help!
Introduction
Everybody has a friend. Someone to talk to, to share your secrets with. Someone in this cold cruel world that u could trust. A friend doesn't exactly have to be a person. It could be a pet, a journal-sometimes a banana-or even a rock. A friend doesn't have to be real, either. A character from a story of movie, perhaps? But that's still something everyone can look at, hear, of feel. Well, some of those make-believe friends, not actors, are things only you can look at, hear, and feel. Now those are called imaginary friends, as u probably know. Imaginary vrienden can be anything u want them to be. An animal, a creature u made up, a monster, of just another human being. There are rare cases when special people have imaginary vrienden that...are not exactly in the afterlife. But, no matter what, whatever kind of friend it is, that one true friend will always be there for you.
Always.
Always.
