I am new to the blogging world…only few months of experience, still from past few weeks I simply cannot make myself to write anything. Everyday I would open up my laptop and would look at the screen and come up blank!!!
How did I recover from writers block..!!
I Read…and then read some more…!!
I finished 4 books in 3 days, still I could not write their reviews. It was not that I did not like the books, I loved them, but when I started writing it was just not coming out right.
Watched something crazy things on TV..!!
I went to the channels and programs I would usually pass..!! I thought it might give me some ideas and it did…the stupid box gave me some stupid ideas, nothing that was making me excited still I wrote them down…maybe in future.
I Read articles on social media!!
I read a dozen different articles on Facebook and other social media and it only made me think they have written about almost everything. Still I read them and commented on them, got engaged in some great conversations and had some interesting discussions.
I Read on latest events and listened to the news!!
That helped me into getting a good view about what all is happening in the world. It was basically sad and depressing learning about bombing and terrorism, I could have written about that but I think I could not add anything new to what has already been said about it. Then all that politics which has never interested me one bit.
I kept a lookout for Daily prompts and posts by WordPress!!
They also helped but most of the topics I started writing were not completed.
Most importantly I kept my Patience!!
I did not lose heart or worried that I am unable to write. I told myself – That happens!! Find a way to get over it than get frustrated.
Then I turned to something which has always been helpful my Family and friends!!
It had been quite sometime since I had a talk with my crazy friends, so instead of staring on a screen, I decided to call them up and meet a few friends. 10 minutes talking to them and telling them about my writer’s block they gave me so many ideas, so completely crazy with no logic at all. Still I decided to write all those topics for my future.
When today I sat down on my laptop and looked over those topics, I decided what better way to get over my writer’s block than Well, to write this post..!!
So, find what makes you click out of the above. Maybe something completely different from this list, something that makes that bulb light..!!

Writing on experiences that happen day to day in my life helps my writers block. Something is bound to happen throughout each day and that sparks my creativity and writing! Good post ??
Thank you!! I think that it is true Dean!! Writing about something that happens throughout the day also helps!!
Nice blog to read.
Thank you so much!!
I’m on a writer’s block now. This post makes me want to get my arse in gear. Thank you for you tips.
Hope you start writing again real fast..!! All the best…!! 🙂
I’ve just recently got over writers block, horribly frustrating!! I thank you for the tips so when and if it happens I can look back to these tips. Honestly, I couldn’t overcome writers block for a long time!
I know what you mean. It is very difficult to get out of it…!! I just came back from travelling…and have loads that I can write about…but just can’t find the words.
What a great post
Thank you!
Thank You!! 🙂
Great post! I love that last idea. Just getting out and talking to people. I remember I had to write about a classmate in a writing clad once. I chose a guy who had had a construction business and it had failed. Good story I thought. We sat down to talk more…his construction business failed because he had forgotten about it because all the houses he had bout he was filling with cocaine! He ended up becoming basically a kingpin in our town! Needless to say my story took on a completely different sound from what I thought was going to happen.
Point was getting out and talking to people can be THE BEST way to get over writers block.
Thank you for the tips ?. Been on a writing block myself recently too.
Agreed.
It happens to me, the urge to write with no idea to write about. Thankfully I end up reading your post. 🙂
Congrats! Keep writing. It’s a muscle that before you know it…you can’t stop.
Insightful Tips…. Reading and research has being of great help to me as a young inspirational blogger.

Thank you, often when I experience the block, I walk away. Return later and there I find some ideas spring forth.
I think this is so important to remember. Patience is key when you have writer’s block, and the people around you are there to help you. I have a blog about my life as a writer (https://katiemdeanblog.wordpress.com/) and sometimes all I can do is stare at the blank space until I think of something to write; sometimes it takes forever.
Great tips! I always run into writers block once in awhile and I always unwind to get my inspiration back. I’m definitely trying these tips. Great read!
Great ideas!!
Great post! Nice advice!
Much needed advice…thanks!
Good post. Writing about something that doesn’t allow you to write. Yeah, that’s the same strategy I started a few months back. Now, I have turned my Writer’s block into a fictional character (Ribo). Please read my latest post about him here :

If you do have the time, please read it and let you know your comments.
I’ve lost my mojo. When I create lists, I end up not wanting to write about anything on the list. I can’t make excuse after excuse, though. I’m the only one standing in my own way of writing at least once per week.
Often I’ll experience a case of writers block and these tips always come in handy. Even when I’m just lacking motivation to come up with new material, these are always helpful. Very informative- Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
