203. Start by writing anything: the last paragraph of another paper; a letter to a friend; “I hate writing” over and over. The trick is to get the physical action underway so the brain will follow.
204. Read through some of your other completed writings or read a bit before where you're stuck.
205.Give yourself 15 minutes to be totally free of your "inner critic." Set a timer and start typing - write whatever pops into your head, even if it is total gibberish, a shopping list, words that rhyme, favorite sayings or lyrics - whatever. The idea is to get your creative juices flowing. Some writers do this exercise every day before they begin writing.
206. This works well for me. Write a personal narrative, or part of one, about some event, recent or past, large or small, happy or sad, that has occured in your life. Write out your emotions, your thoughts, etc. It just helps to get the writing spurt started. It could be about anything from winning a big award to buying a gallon of ice cream.
207. this is really fun for me because I'm a people-watcher. watching people gives me ideas, and it's amusing. Go to a public place(park, library, museum, zoo, etc.) and sit down and watch the people around you for as long as you want. Take good notes or just study them; it will help give you ideas. Or go to the grocery store and guess details about people's lives based on what they pick up, who's with them, and what's in their cart(my "Motherhood" story came from something like this when my mother dragged me to the store with her.)
208. Ok...this is actually something I found on a website that someone wrote. It's called, "Ten Tips for Beating Writer's Block! (A Prose Parody)" by Bruce W Niedt
1. Find someone to pine over, and after two weeks, write a poem about unrequited love.
2. Beat your head against a wall, then write about how poetry comes from suffering.
3. Use the following words in a poem: chicken, Bundt cake, defibrillator, blastocyst, Skippy, rictus, Monongehela, gewgaw, Industrial Revolution, budgie, Weltschmerz.
4. Compose a poem using Magnetic Poetry©. Do not, however, try to submit your refrigerator to a poetry journal.
5. Write a poem about writer’s block. Then write a poem about writing a poem about writer’s block.
6. If, as the old adage goes, you “write what you know”, and if you know nothing, then write about nothing. It could be a poem about nothing. You could be the Seinfeld of poetry!
7. Find an obscure poem by someone else on the internet, change a word or two if you like, and take credit for it as your poem. Be sure you have a good lawyer.
8. Keep a notepad by your bed. Then next time you awake with a great dream-inspired idea, jot it down. And spend the next couple of days trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about.
9. Win a Pulitzer Prize, or become Poet Laureate, so you can write whatever you want, ecause whatever you write, half your readers will applaud your genius, and the other half will complain about how your work has declined since you won the big prize.
10. Console yourself with the fact that there really is no such thing as “writer’s block”. Then get off your duff and WRITE!
