Writers Block

[undersnow]

Just wondering, who here has had writers block and how have you gotten over it in the past?

Thankfully I'm not experiencing it right now, but I have in the past and it would be nice to know how other people get past it!

I recently got over a writer's block.... with the help with someone.... if you get a very vague topic... for me it was the color green... it get's your mind going... creative wise... so that may help or you may have to wait it out... have a.... idk 14 day hiatus.... i usually take about a month or so hiatus but 14 days should be good... hope this helps

A couple months ago I was in a writing block for like almost year!! I was into different things at the time like playing music and hanging with friends... I still was writing quite a bit but it wasn't lyrics but a lot of poems (especially haiku's).

Haiku's can test your writing skills in a unique way. It can help you to say more with fewer words. Though a haiku doesn't really say much, it's a fun challenge.

Like Damion said even if you don't know exactly how you are going to write it you can really challenge yourself to write about something completely off the wall, something that you aren't used to (or comfortable) about writing.

I know it sounds kinda dumb but I can sometimes get inspiration just by flipping through the dictionary. I find that it expands my creativity by learning new words.
