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. :)
