What Are The Ways To Beat The Writer’s Block

writers block

The past week has been exciting but extremely hectic as well. I had to attend a blogger meet, had social engagements, had work deadlines to meet, I was participating in blog trains and had also signed up for a daily writing challenge.

So, I had to write a lot. There were days this week where I wrote two blog posts in a day. Then one day – Enter the Writer’s Block. I kept staring at the laptop but couldn’t write a single word. Thankfully it didn’t last long, just for a day and I am making up to it right now, writing this blog post for the picture prompt.

It happens with every writer and there isn’t any concrete solution. Sometimes the block lasts for a day and sometimes it would be more.

So, I wanted to list things that work for me whenever I face a writer’s block.

  1. Listen to music. I start playing my favourite playlist.
  2. Go for a walk.
  3. Just sit near my bedroom window observing the people around.
  4. Watch television. Sometimes the idiot box does help to de-clutter my thoughts. This always works.
  5. Write in my journal.
  6. Meet my friends or call them just for random chit chat. Sometimes I also discuss blogging and they give me ideas to write.
  7. Read inspirational quotes.
  8. Compile a blog post on inspirational quotes.
  9. Once when I was facing a writer’s block I compiled 50 Lifestyle Blog Post Ideas You Will Love. This is one of the most popular blog posts on my site.

Also, I have realized that indulging in self -pity or procrastinating makes matters worse but what works the most is to write. So, I guess the best way to beat Writer’s Block is to write.
