Writer's Block Tip #4

Two words: Word Wars.

A great way to beat writer's block is by finding someone (or a whole group of people) to do a word war with.

What's a word war? Basically, you try to write as many words as possible under a set time limit, and at the end, you can see if you wrote the most. 

1. First, you need to find someone to do it with. 

2. Set a time limit. It can be 15 mins all the way up to 3 hours.

3. Begin! Write as a much as you can, and because you're pumped about writing, you'll write more. (and you'll beat writer's block)

4. At the end, find out who had the most.

Though it is fun to see who "won", it's more fun to see that you got a lot of writing done.

And sometimes, it's also great just to do it by yourself if you can't find anyone to do it with.

So, there's Writer's Block Tip #4.

Writer's Block Tip #3

Usually, whenever writers get writer's block, it could mean that the section in their novel that they are writing doesn't include conflict.

Like in the first Writer's Block Tip, you need to add some conflict to get out of your bored zone, like dropping a body from the ceiling as Mr. Schwabauer says from the One Year Adventure Novel Curriculum.

So go in there, try to find a way to randomly, (but reasonably), include conflict. You don't want to just drop the body from the ceiling without including an explanation before or after the conflict.

Conflict will help the writer get inspiration, and once the conflict is over, don't stop there and get bored again. You should add even more conflict. That way, you will engage your reader through the entire novel.

So basically, whenever the main character's life is going horrible, that means that the writer's life is going more smoothly. :)

Writer's Block Tip #2

Here is the 2nd Writer's Block Tip:

If you find out one afternoon as you stare at your computer screen that you have another case of writer's block, one way to beat it is to just say, "Today I am only going to write one paragraph. After that, I can stop writing and do something else."

Usually, after writing that one paragraph, you'll feel inspired and you'll want to write more.

But if you don't feel like writing after that, that's ok. Take a break for awhile, or maybe for the rest of the day.

Though this is a short tip, it should work.
