Writers block, it's something that any author will have. No matter what they have to write, it will attack them at one point or another while working. It's that point when you sit staring at the paper, nothing coming out. Or that you are sitting at the computer, hands on keyboard, but words just won't get there.
Well it's a problem that you will most likely experience more than just once if you write for a living. Even if you simply write for fun, it will come up from time to time. There isn't really much you can do about it. Search for the muse in you and hope that they come back to help you out quickly.
So what can you do to help out with this problem? Well one thing they say to do is use writing prompts, and write everyday of the week. It doesn't matter if what you're putting down isn't making any sense, your writing.
At times it just may do you a bit of good to take a little time away from the computer in order to get rejuvenated. How you do that, well do them that you find fun and relaxing, something that will have your problems not at the forefront of your mind.
Do something different, head out and see a movie, or walk around the mall. Anything that will give you new things to look at and do. Perhaps something you see will be just the trigger that is needed. That certain thing that will get your mind back in line, and your words flowing free again.
If you want to try and force yourself on those days to try and do a prompt, have at it. But it can possibly make the problem even worse. So instead just get up and do anything else but write.
Surely you won't have it for the rest of your life. Once it's gone get back up and do it all again!
