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 Humor

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but here's a little bit of writer's humor:

Wisdom

Here's another great KLOVE Encouraging Word.

I think this is a great verse, especially for teens for men or women getting ready for college and adulthood.
Without advice and instruction, how will we survive adulthood?

Do Hard Things

I recently read a book called "Do Hard Things". Its about how teenagers have been given low expectations.
Drug abuse. Sex. Parties. Anything else you think a teenager does.

If you want to see the book, here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Do-Hard-Things-Rebellion-Expectations/dp/1601421125/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383597718&sr=8-1&keywords=do+hard+things

We all know some teens rebel against their parents. Instead, Do Hard Things is a book that helps teens rebel against low expectations. The authors, Alex and Brett Harris do an amazing job of showing other teens who've done hard things and encourage teens to do the same.
Alex and Brett say in the book that they believe that though teens are still in school and don't have many opportunities as adults do, the teen years are the best ones to prepare for adulthood.

Let's say you want to become a lawyer or judge. This is crude example, but say you had a fear of public speaking. Do you really believe that that fear will leave just because you will be an adult? Just being an adult doesn't mean you will have the ability to stand in front of a jury and present a case to the judge. Teens need to prepare for adulthood. It wouldn't be good if you didn't prepare for public speaking or tight deadlines if that's what your future job entails.

I loved this book so much that I bought the companion book, Start Here. http://www.amazon.com/Start-Here-Doing-Things-Right/dp/1601422709

And yes, I recommend this book highly. It will inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and not only do hard things, but do hard things for God.
