Let's face the facts. All writers get writer's block every now and then. That time when te Scrivere and te just stop because te can't get any ideas. I write all the time, so I get Writer's block constantly. And news flash...it bites! But there are some things I do to overcome them. This is a little articolo to help all my fellow writers out there!
1. Take a Break!
Believe it o not, it helps to back away from the story for a little while. I mostly write at night when my parents are sleeping. When I get stuck, I sit in the recliner for a few minuti with my mp3 player and daydream. più often than not, it helps me out!
2. Listen To Your Dreams!
As screwed up as some of my dreams are, they can sometimes be my creative outlet. Some of the things in my dreams give me ideas. I consider myself a fantasy writer, so the stuff I see in my dreams helps me da giving me a descrizione of a place in my story. For instance, Grunge Valley. A place in my story where the evil creatures lurk...
A land of eternal darkness. The skies are always grey and depressing. The valley was covered with thorns and decaying plants. In the distance, they could see the castle, tall and overpowering. An evil aura just seemed to reflect from it. How was it possible something could stand it here, Roni thought?
3. Media!
Another way to come up with ideas is to get them from your preferito libri o movies. I'm not saying to completly copy the movie, that's illegal! I'm saying just take notice of a few things te found interesting in them.
For example; I'm recently re-reading James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. A thing I like about the book is how he introduces the comedy. The way the book is written, I could easily see it as a TV mostra o movie. I can see it easily in my mind.
Another example, in one of my preferito movies, The Brothers Grimm, the movie is packed with hints from other fairy tales. When Jacob hides in the mattresses when the tower is collapsing (The Princess and the pea), the queen's evil mirror (Snow White), and the queen's insanely long hair (Rapunzel).
Your keywords: I like how they did that!
4. Write It All Down!
It doesn't hurt to daydream. But when te get an idea, write it down o record it. The idea may not seem like a good idea at the time, but if te come back to it later, like if te write another story, te may like it. te might even tweek it a little bit. I can't tell te how often I drift off and wish I would have done something to remember it!
5. Brainstorm!
When writing, it helps if te know what you'd like to happen ahead of time. Something that helps me are story charts. Scrivere down the chapter and Scrivere what happens in it is a good way. Another thing te could do is to make a albero web. te know, those annoying charts they make te do in math class for square roots and factors? Only instead of numbers, make it a sequence of events.
I really hope my articolo managed to help te a little:)

Heyy there, I know in my last entry I detto I would write on Friday- but I didn't. Theres actually loads of things that have happened to me in the last few days/week. Im not gonna tell te though! I had no commenti on the last entry but as soon as I get some feedback im gonna start Scrivere to te again- Im a very busy person. I go to school, I play football (soccer-(Im english)-) along with my Scrivere I also sing alot so I have many things to do/practice. Go look for my last entry and te will understand partly why im jabbering on :) Amore to the people of the earth~ Cait xxx- 20th September 2011
I slammed the car door shut, and faced the school.
"Have a good giorno sweetie," Mom said, somewhat hopefully from the drivers seat. Just the words made me want to ball up and cry. She drove away, leaving me in the dust. I would not survive this day.
Not that I deserve to.
I clutched my libri to my chest, and tried to keep my eyes fixed on the ground. But I still felt their eyes on me.
"Bitch," they muttered.
"She deserves to die," others said. Didn't they know I want to? Didn't they know how much strength it took to keep breathing? And when I did, it was the everlasting pain that nearly brought me to my death. But I could only hope.
But they didn't know this. They just knew it was my fault. And it was. It was all my fault for what had happened.
And I'd live with this guilt till I die.
*****************************
Please let me know if I should continue this; I don't know if I should.

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.
