The Writing UnBlocker:
Tip #1
People often call on me for help to simply start writing and I have found that writer’s block is definitely something that can be conquered. We all deal with different obstacles when it comes to our creativity, so here are a few ways to get those words flowing.
Create a writing routine.
If your life has been filled up with all sorts of activities, none of which include writing, it is time to train your mind and your body to get used to this activity. What better way than to have a regularly scheduled time that ensures you connect pen to paper, fingers to keys or stylus to tablet?
This does not mean you have to chain yourself to a desk for hours on end. Find a place that is comfortable, peaceful, and inspiring for you that you can easily access every day. Pick a time that is generally open for you and free of other obligations. You may have ten minutes to write or you may have an hour – it is best to start at a time and place that you know you can commit to.
I personally had a phase where I always wrote first thing in the morning, which for me was around 6 a.m. I had another phase where my writing always occurred late at night – which was funny, because I woke up several times with my fingers still on the laptop keyboard. Your writing routine will be as unique as you are.
