Let's be honest, we've all been through it. The unmistakable, impenetrable wall of no new ideas or motivation. It can be scary when you reach it, but luckily for you I have compiled some of the best ways to get over it.

Here are five things that are proven to kill writers block.

1. Start writing a different scene.

One of the biggest things that leads to writer block is that you are unable to figure out how to write a scene. If you're stuck at the beginning, try writing the ending or climax. This will help to get your creative mind flowing and will motivate you to reach that scene.

2. Create a back story for a minor character.

By figuring out the life story for a minor character, you will be putting yourself back in the world you created. This will help you bring fresh ideas to the table, and will help your writing get back on track .

3. Write somewhere new

Many sources claim the key to destroying writers block is to switch writing locations. Writing in the same place everyday will tend to null your creativity, leading to the eventual frustration of writer's block. To prevent this dreaded situation, try instead moving locations; a new change of pace will definitely help get your story moving.

4. Start on a completely new story.

When you feel like you're at your wit's end with a certain story, try putting it aside for a second and start on a new one. It doesn't have to be crazy or detailed, but this will help motivate you to write again and give you a fresh perspective. Who knows? You might even end up using some of it in your main story.

5. Take a break.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is step back and take a breather. If your writing is undeniably at a stand-still, no amount of forcing it will make it happen. Taking a break will allow you to get your mind off of it for a while, usually allowing you to come back even stronger.

While not all of the reasons are 100 percent fool proof, they are helpful in taking down writer's block most of the time. I hope you find these ideas useful, happy writing!
