Inspiration

One of the hardest parts of any art is when you lack inspiration. For writers it is most commonly referred to as writer's block. First thing to do is stop thinking of it as writer's block. That name sounds rather depressing, as if there is a wall blocking you from the words that so desperately want to enter your mind. Think of it as a "temporary lack in inspiration". Ah, yes, that sounds good. There are many ways to get rid of this temporary lack in inspiration. You may already have something you do that helps. Some People take long walks on a peaceful night, some go out and jog, others write 50 random words, some doodle. Whatever works for you! Here are some other ideas to help:

1. Start talking to yourself! Talk out what just happened in your story. You can even act it out! This also helps me with figuring out the character's speech habits.
2. Scrap it. Save the document or piece of paper you have, you do not want to loose anything you write! Now, try starting over from the part where you started having trouble.
3. Exercise can help too. Get your blood flowing! If you've been sitting in a chair for two hours writing, you're just begging for exercise. Believe me, it works.
4. Write something else. If you're like Freya and I, we like variety, we're never trapped with just one project (which sometimes means we don't get them done when we need to). Start, or work on, another project.

If those things don't work. Make the troublesome part what you think about all the time. You're bound to come up with something sooner or later!
