Writer's Block

[Dai]

How do you break through the brick wall?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Take a break, read somthing new (outside of the genres I like to write in), go for a walk, play some story based video games.

[General Dan]

I listen to music, and do menial work like cutting grass or chores around the house. It's amazing how much creativity comes out of doing things like that.

How do you break through the brick wall?

Sledge hammer...

I try and read other people's work, listen to music, and just try and relax.

I find trying to force something is counter productive.

I find that talking aloud to someone about ideas is a fantastic way to generate the enthusiasm and inspiration to post. For me personally, I get very passionate about explaining things to people... I start gesticulating, getting all excited; it whips me up into a frenzy, and posts just tumble out of my head and into the keyboard.

Of course, I don't always have someone around to talk to... but I find that it's just the 'aloud' part that really matters. I've discovered this really weird trait in myself that if I speak to myself while I'm hiking up the hill from the supermarket, or while I'm working out, or washing up, not only does it help me get into a posting mindset, but it also makes the time while doing the boring / strenuous task seem to go faster.

But then, I'm slightly crazy, and I talk to myself all the time anyway. ^_^;
