Hi fan of Writing! I bet we all experienced Writer's Block before, heck, all writers must have. It's frustrating isn't it? So I devised 5 steps to get rid of it and get rid of it fast. If it doesn't work, devise your own plan, but here's mine.
P.S. If te don't know what Writer's Block is o if te haven't experienced it yet, I'm not giving an explanation so find out what it's like first!
Step 1: Don't Panic
-Panicking o fussing over your running out of inspiration will just make things worse and definitly lead straight to mind blank mode. So just relax and do something else other than writing. Writer's block does come from us over-stressing our mind with our stories after all. te need a break, simple as that. But remember to rest your eyes too o you'd either be getting glasses, o need your degree raised. It's not a good thing!
Step 2: Think of Your Ending
-If te are Scrivere a story but haven't thought of the ending, te might want to skip to the successivo step first. After taking a break te should try Scrivere all ending ideas down on paper and look through them. Seeing how te want to end it can give te ideas on how to connect that with what you've already written. Sometimes, that can be the immediate cure. And don't say te don't want spoilers. It's your own story you're the one Scrivere it! Don't be ridiculous! Trust me, I've met people like that.
Step 3: Actually Finding Inspiration
-If te haven't thought of your ending o just want to find ways to make things più interesting for your story, finding inspiration is essential, so the easiest thing to do? Read. Read libri you've never read before that have similarities to your own story. I'm not asking te to copy, but think of it as comparing your work with others who deal with similar subjects. You're bound to find good ideas. Other sources include newspaper articles, fanfictions maybe, anime/manga, TV shows, movies...the lista is almost endless. Even your own fantasies, your life and things around te can help. Hey, I got some of my ideas from my life fantasies and crazy dreams.
Step 4: Involving Yourself
-Don't skip this it's important to know. Pretend it's yourself in your story. Write as if it's your own life. That way te can really make your story good and convincing. Good vocabulary and grammer alone isn't enough. Just remember to replace all first person terms with secondo o third person terms unless your story is in first person. Why is this important in fighting Writer's Block? Simple. It can make te last longer in Scrivere so Step 1 doesn't have to be repeated often.
Step 5: Management and Drafting
-Once all inspirations have moved into your head, and te know how to write as if it's te in there, write down all ideas, as many as possible. te can refer to this lista if te don't feel like going through the whole 5 steps again. Then again, it's always good to have più ideas but don't add too much in one story. It's not a good idea. Manage all your ideas in the order of your story, meaning, whichever happens earlier is at the superiore, in alto and...you get the point. After that, do drafting. It's advisable to use a pencil for this because te might end up throwing drafts away if they don't turn out how te expected. This helps te go through your ideas and let te see how well it works out. te can't just write everything straight from your head all the time as it can become awkward. This last step is honestly directed più to Scrivere well but it's in here because it can help prevent Writer's Block considerably effectively.
Well, that's pretty much it. I write a lot but I'm not that good so Scrivere this was a little weird for me so if it seems strange please let me know. The way I wrote it, I mean. Anyway I hope this helps some of you. Enjoy writing!

Memories and grief of my heart
Are still buried somewhere
I can’t cry neither I can freely laugh
What if they don’t know my past
I have not forget it yet
I still remember the same Zean with the same Zeal
But not in flashes neither in cars
In backstage of life with trembling hunger
Hunger in eyes and lips dry
No money in pocket but Zeal on shoulder
With memories of ‘Love’ and burning heart
Now my clothes are branded
And my shoes are best, pocket heavy with dollars
But with this all my cuore is all heavy
With secrets of past
Pleasures can bury them but cannot vanish
I still look inoltrare, avanti to death
When all my secrets will disappear, my pain will end
Also with my life..end will come to my BAD MEMORIES.

I sit in the dark. Thinking about Jack. A single tear comes out of my eye, then another. I start to laugh quietly, trying not to wake up my sister. Then, the horrible memory from my awful dream came back to me. I went to the door and paused. I sighed and told myself that nothing is out there but the hallway, the dining room, living room and the kitchen. I took out my phone from my giacca and looked at the time. It's 5:59. I rolled my eyes and opened and closed the door quietly and sat on the soft couch. I started to drift into thoughts about Degrassi, and what it would be like if I went there. Then, a black figure moved across the kitchen. Spooked, I quickly walked to my aunts' laptop and looked up some funny video on youtube.com to keep m off track from the figure. Hours passed, and I am still freaked. Ten minuti later, I calm down and look up some più funny stuff. Ugh! I must be haluccinating from lack of sleep. I rubbed my eyes and went back to my bedroom and passed out.
