Discussion: How you get past writer's block?

Comments

[frogfarm]

Finished a scene and started another. This one was giving me moderate trouble at first, but now I'm over the speed bump and it's flowing like water.

How do I get past writer's block? See above. Pick em up and put em down, just keep plugging away. If all else fails, get up and go do something else before frustration makes you start running in circles. Put it out of your mind, and come back when you feel ready, whether it takes seven minutes, seven months or seven years.

By continuing to put wirds on the page, nit caring if it's bad, until i see how they can be better.

My best practice for getting over writers block is to make myself sit down and start writing. Usually if I can do that much, I will eventually be able to start writing words that mean something. Sometimes brainstorming about what I want to accomplish helps if I can't get the actual story words to start flowing.
