So you have writer's block, that totally sucks. I feel ya, I do. But don't fret, we all go through it. Some writers will say push through and keep writing, even if it is shit. Sometimes you just have to take a step back from what you are working on. Other times it is as easy as working on a different chapter or working on a different piece all together. But every now and then I get a real nasty case of ICWFS (I can't write for shit) so what do I do? I save my work and walk away. I spend my time doing other things I enjoy.
So here is a list of things to do if you find yourself with a case of ICWFS
- Watch crappy reality TV
- Read a book
- Paint
- Take a walk
- Watch a movie
- Bake something
- Listen to music
- Read a magazine
- Talk to a good friend
- Make a new friend if you don't have any (let's face it, us writers are a bit anti-social
There are plenty of other things to busy yourself with, but don't you give up it will pass.
