Writer's block can be a nightmare for authors everywhere. It takes away your creativity, frustrates you to no end and leaves you feeling like a victim to the disease that is writer's block. But, I am out to take down this demon. Here are surefire ways to allleviate writer's block today!
1. If you don't write it in one sitting, it's not happening.
It doesn't matter if you spent 2 hours on that article. If you close the tab and think, "I'll get back to it," you won't.
2. If you don't write it first thing after drinking your morning coffee, it's not happening.
That surge of creative energy hits, and then it's gone.
3. If you don't have your morning coffee, it's definitely not happening.
That's just a fact.
4. If your boyfriend interrupts you for two minutes, it's not happening.
You won't get back to that creative flow. You won't.
5. If you save it for after work, it's not happening.
"Wow, after that eight-hour shift I really feel like churning out some interesting content," said no one ever.
6. If it's not a listicle, it's not happening.
Lengthy ideas that require complex thought? Please.
7. If you wait till deadline, it's not happening.
That pressure of having to churn out literally anything, now? Not conducive to ~creative flow~, my man.
8. If you feel any kind of pressure whatsoever, it's not happening.
"Writer's block" will take any and all excuses to strike.
9. If you're indifferent about the topic, it's not happening.
You have to sort-of care to warrant anything beyond a few dwindling sentences.
10. If you have remotely anything better to do, it's not happening.
You know that saying, "Writers don't write because they want to, they write because they have to"? That's not just a statement on profound art.
