1. Start with smaller tasks: Start with smaller tasks, like paragraphs or 250 words, and then build up to the bigger ones. Completing smaller tasks will help you stay motivated and give you the confidence to write more than a paragraph.
2. Take a break: Sometimes we get stuck. No matter how hard we try, we cannot write anything. Take a break, go for a walk, do some relaxing exercises, or do something that helps your brain to relax. It will be a boost to your ideas and it can also be a boost to your motivation as well.
3. Write something interesting: Try writing something interesting, such as your hobby or a poem, if you are having trouble writing. Writing something new can be a source of fresh ideas and inspiration for your creativity.
4. Visualise: Not sure what to write or how to go on? Try scribbling on plain paper or making diagrams. It helps to make your process more visual.
5. Write without pausing: This is one of the best tricks you can use to avoid writer's block. Write whatever you want. Do not worry about grammar, spelling, or sentence structure, just write freely. This is the best way to get over writer's block, even though most of it will be pointless.
Overcoming writer's block is a difficult process and it is up to the person who is struggling. If we view writer's block as an adversary, we cannot learn and grow; instead, we should view it as an opportunity to learn to be more creative, imaginative, and productive in our writing. Have fun writing!
