How do you get rid of writers block?

Cut the block into smaller blocks and use it to make yourself a nice fireplace.

I've been struggling to write recently. I know what I want to write, with the story and all that, but just haven't been able to get the words to sound right. I have been working on the second chapter to my book for a week now and only have two paragraphs done, and I don't really like how either of them sound/feel. Any tips to get out of my current situation?

Write the next sentence, then the next. Don't overthink it.

Take a break. Find a quiet place.

Play a stressful game. Sometimes, stress can trigger enlightenment.

Why do you think? Because if you are losing in the game, you will eventually get tired of it. Then, you will say this, "Fuck this. I'm gonna write a new chapter."

Which would you suggest, Pogo-Stuck or Getting Over It?

You either cut the writers block with a writers sword or axe or you can unblock it.

If both of those methods don't work, just either relax or stress yourself so you get into the right mindset. Self-blackmail or self-bribery might also work if you're mental enough.

Maybe both. I always play a mobile games and always lose the game, lol. But it is helping me to get some ideas for my writing.

I go through serious bouts of writers block and it SUCKS. Sometimes you have to just ride it through until something goes off in your head and you can just sit and write but in other cases; it is more beneficial for you to do something pro-active to give you the kick up the arse you need. There's a lot of good suggestions here, might be an idea finding a thing that suits you.

Mine is listening to Tool. A lot. Oh, grounding kinda helps me too. I also try to write down any ideas that pop in to my head in a notebook I keep solely for that purpose. I even write down what happens in my dreams and nightmares that I remember, they're a good source of weirdness/horrible. ?

You just need to give yourself over to a higher power. Once you allow it to enter you and you surrender yourself to its perfect will, all other troubles and concerns just fade away.


I'm talking about crystal meth, of course.
