Writer’s block

Writing is an emotional  process along with  creativity.  While writing , Sometimes we feel stuck. This is a common problem. Every writer faces writer’s block at some point of time. This is a  condition of being unable to think of what to write or how to proceed with writing?

How to Deal With writers’ Block-

  1. Make a habit of reading and  writing in a disciplined way.

2.  Always take  break.

3. Practice writing.

4. If possible, try ‘free writing’ practice.

5. If there is self-doubt or dilemma at the time of writing, consult a writer or friend    who may guide you.

  9. Hi your blog says that you are a Phd holder and you got married at young age of 19. Both of these according to me sound like very tough pathways how did you manage to overcome all difficulties and since you are a psychologist what would be your suggestion to someone who chooses a career they aren’t very sure of in life?

    1. Thanks for going through my bio and for your question . 😊😊

      I believe in one thing – if you wish to do something , start it with a positive mindset and just keep going .

      You are right . It was really tough .
      Sometimes, I thought that this is the dead end, I won’t be able to continue my studies .

      In my opinion auto suggestion and spirituality ( to some extent they say the same thing ) will help anyone and everyone in achieving theIr goal.

    1. Thank you ,
      Read a lot and automatically you will come out of block and long break is not a block Lensq . You are just taking time in coming back to your writing schedule .

  11. Taking a break is so important. There is no point in trying to force it if it doesn’t want to come. I’ve written on the same subject recently and have a technique that works when I just want to get something down on paper. There is nothing more threatening than the blank page.

  14. I agree with you on this! I actually just wrote a post about writer’s block on my blog too. I expanded on your #2 (always take a break). There is a point of writing to exhaustion. Some breaks should be encouraged.
