beat the writer's block!
I guess I never suffered from author’s block because I am an extremely late bloomer when it comes to writing. I have started writing in 2007-08, before that I never wrote anything outside my school, college and other such notes.
So my mind is always bubbling with ideas, and I very often end up forgetting them because they show up at the most inconvenient moments. But when I try to make myself create something a few things work wonder for me, wonder if they will stimulate you too!
- Watching movies, they very often stimulate my creativity, and most of them are not spinoff of the movies, very often they take their own absolutely different track.
- Checking out photos, beautiful ones especially, they work magic for poetry specially.
- Prompts help too, if I seriously want to write stories and can’t get any interesting ideas the prompts available in internet very often help. All prompts don’t impress me but enough do.
- Editing my own works often give me ideas for new works. I edit my own works so when I feel the urge of writing but can’t find anything worth trying I edit, and while editing new ideas quite often pop up.
- Being a resident of tinsel town I can’t take a walk in nature or spend time in company of forests, ocean or hills to stimulate me, I try to compensate with YouTube once in a while, not regularly though, but sometimes watching beautiful videos in YouTube helps. Stimulates the muse quite a lot.
What stimulates you out of writer’s block?
