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!


  1. 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.
  2. Checking out photos, beautiful ones especially, they work magic for poetry specially.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
