Getting Over Writer's Block
One of the best ways to overcome writer's block is to focus on the popular idea of having your characters take a journey. Perhaps you can come up with some journey ideas of your own (and I'm not talking about the band Journey, though we're certain you could come up with some fun stories about them too). The journey ideas that come to mind are ones where the characters set out to find something out about themselves or their lives.
Situation 1: After a brother and sister escape from the orphanage where they've been living unhappily, they stumble upon information regarding their parents, who were supposedly dead—but not according to one of the documents.
Situation 2: An adopted child wonders why her birth parents had given her up for adoption. The deeper she probes, the greater the mystery becomes—there's some indication that one or both of her birth parents were criminals. The closer she gets to solving the mystery, the more resistance she encounters.
Finding out how to cure writer's block is as simple as using writing prompts, story starters and idea generators. After all, the only way to beat this tricky writing ailment is to have a little inspiration. Let this free download be your inspiration.
