How to Avoid Writers Block

Sometimes even the greatest of writers can lose their adventurous writing mind at times. But this is okay and it can also be controlled. As writers, it seems like we always have to have something genius ready to be typed or written out at any given second. While this is sometimes true, we all need a little inspiration sometimes. Still, even without a world altering idea to write about, sometimes it is best just to:

Start writing

Whatever is on your mind in the moment, go with it. Day dream for a bit, vent, or just go with whatever is your current state. Sometimes the best ideas come with a bit of rambling.

Edit x100

Even if you're just rambling, any story can become its best if it is edited and edited again. This is the work of a true writer, if a story can entice even if it is a seemingly dull topic.

Pursue inspiration

Humanity can prove itself again and again to be lazy and unmotivated. Don't settle and do not become unmotivated. There is a reason for writing- there is a purpose in it. Go out, take some time to open your mind and take in what is going on around you.

Don't underestimate

There is always something going on- something that can be pursued and relationships to be discovered. This is when ideas can bloom and your writing fingers will be in constant motion.

Explore and research

There's nothing wrong with seeing what others have to say- what others think. Writing comes full circle, even for the best of writers. We encourage enlightenment through other great writers or simply through the wide world around us. Let other's insights and aspirations encourage you to discuss your thoughts and words on a subject.

Stay informed

The world never stops, and neither should you. Everyday something significant happens. Tell me a reason that I'm wrong. I'll wait...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
