How to Beat Writers Block
This Challenge comes at a good time because I'm not persay had writers block today but I have simply felt very unmotivated and need reminding of how to motivate myself again and beat writers block when it reers it's ugly head again and hopefully my tips will help someone too...
1) Listen to music
Yes I know it's clique to say I use music to beat writers block but it works I love many different kinds of music but the kinds I like to listen to to help beat writers block the Star Wars soundtrack, the How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack the Witcher Soundtrack very random I know but they work.
2) Read a Book in the genre I'm writing in
Another clique I know but like the above it works it helps me to familiarise myself with good pacing, story structure and characters and character development and it allows my brain to relax so I can think straight.
3) I work on another writing project
I typically work on like three of four writing projects at once so when I'm having trouble with one I usually go onto another.
4) I Go Outside
I like to go outside and sit in the sun, go for a walk or a swim and clear my head and have a change of scenery.
5) I listen to a podcast
I especially love listening to book and true crime podcasts it gives me the chance to think about something else.
6) I watch movie trailers
I have no idea why this works but it does some trailers I like to watch are The Batman (2022) Dune (2020), The French Dispatch (2021) and some fan-made Skywalker saga trailers.
7) I re-watch favorioute movie scenes
I love re-watching my favorioute movie scenes the ending of Titanic, the ending of Return of The Jedi, the final battle of Avengers: Endgame and the end to Frozen 2.
8) I watch Authortube video's
Watching other's write and be productive encourages me to be creative and productive.
