How to overcome writer’s block in 4 simple ways
Creativity is its own master. You can’t lock the creativity and use it when required. That’s why content creators often face writer’s block. When writers want to bring their thoughts to paper/laptop, suddenly they feel blank and out of words. In a fraction of a second, all thoughts vanish and you are left helpless. But we can help you overcome writer’s block in these tried and tested ways.
Swim through the pool of thoughts
When you are stuck with writer’s block, start penning down your thoughts without giving them a second thought. Write as if you are writing a diary entry. After 100-150 words, you will find your topic and your thoughts will begin to streamline. Still, don’t start editing until you note down the main sub-topics else your thought process will break and you will lose it all.
Writer’s block can be tricked
Sometimes, in the process of writing an award-winning title, you lose interest in your thoughts. By arranging and re-arranging the words of your title to make it a head-turner, you forget your real purpose.
If you are habitual of finalising your title first and then start writing, you may not be able to match your thoughts with your headline. The conflict between the headline and your story usually creates writer’s block and suddenly you feel stuck. At such times, it is better to start the story first and as you finish, you may decide on a suitable title. In fact, your story suggests relevant topics.
Observation pulls up your thoughts
Writers are observant. They always get stories as they look around. While they are introverts, they love talkative people in their surroundings who become fodder for their stories. Often writers make up a story from the crowd’s expression and spice it up with their ingredients to complete their fiction. You may also try to start a conversation with someone that opens up more avenues for your draft.
Social Media can surprise you
Browsing social media is another way to decide your blog topic. All platforms are updated with trends and you can choose your genre to select a topic. Researching a topic is important as facts and figures add credibility to your content and you earn authority in the eyes of your audience.
Writer’s block is a something that affects most writers but there’s always a solution to every problem. The key lies in the way you overcome writer’s block and publish your masterpiece on time.
