Writers block, it's a pain, but at the same time it happens to all of us at some point or another. So here are some ideas to help when you have writers block.

1. Listen to music

It might get juices flowing. Your creativity might come out when you listen to music you like. The music can relax you. When having writers block it is easy to get stressed and try to force yourself to write something when there is nothing there. So why not try to relax and listen to music.

2. Write

When having writer's block you don't want to write, but one of the best things is to write it out. Not having to write something specific makes it easier to write. When you have a deadline and you have writer's block it makes it more difficult to write. So just writing for fun might help get rid of that blankness that is stopping you from actually getting ideas out.

3. Look at pictures

If you look at pictures you might get some ideas of what to write. Just looking at different things could help you think of a way to be creative. Whether it is pictures of you and friends, pictures of nature, or even random pictures on the internet. They might spark something that you want to write about.

4. Looking up prompts

When having writers block your mind is completely blank usually. You don't know what to write or you have an idea and just nothing is coming to you to keep you going. I would recommend looking up prompts or even short ideas that you can start with online. There are an array of prompts to help you out and it'll be very helpful to just start you on your way to writing something.

5. Go for a run

When going for a run or doing any type of exercise your mind keeps moving. For me, when I exercise I end up thinking about random things. Exercise just helps me stop stressing and when getting stressed it's hard for someone to write.

6. Write ideas down

If something just pops into your head, write it down in a notebook or put it in your notes in your phone. That way you have something to look back on when you can't think of anything else to write. It helps a lot when need something to write about and need it right away and you don't have time to think about what you want to write.

7. Write about writers block

When not being able to write, why not write about getting rid of writers block, am I right?


Writer's block kind of sucks, but we all go through it. Every writer at least once in their life will have a difficult time thinking of ideas and that's okay. You just need to find the best way for you to get rid of it and maybe it's one of the ideas above and maybe it's something else. Just find what helps you get rid of writer's block.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
