Here are our tips for fighting writer\u2019s block:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Fill your page<\/strong> \u2013 putting down anything that comes into your head on paper is a good technique. It\u2019s always easier to cut down and polish your writing, than to carefully craft each sentence. Even if it isn\u2019t perfect, getting nearer to your word count will always give you a boost.<\/li>
- Set yourself a target<\/strong> \u2013 it may be two sentences a day, or a paragraph a week, but it will help to set achievable goals. Even if you just feel like sitting down in front of the TV, writing two sentences first will keep your writing ticking over.<\/li>
- Plan <\/strong>\u2013 decide on topics for each of your paragraphs and fill them in later. Creating a structure will help you to see where your writing is going and stop you rambling.<\/li>
- Take a break<\/strong> \u2013 if the words aren\u2019t coming to you then taking half an hour to have some food, or walk to the shops, can clear your head.<\/li>
- Keep your notepad handy <\/strong>\u2013 often your best ideas will come to you on the bus, or walking around the supermarket. Jotting down your thoughts on the go will make it easier when you are sitting down to write.<\/li>
- Write something else<\/strong> \u2013 replying to a text or writing an email will stop you staring at your computer screen. The most important thing is to start writing.<\/li>
- Try a different location <\/strong>\u2013 if trying to write in your house isn\u2019t working for you, then head to your local library or a park bench. A different environment is sometimes what you need to spark fresh ideas.<\/li>
- Get qualified <\/strong>\u2013 writing courses<\/a> can be a great way to build your confidence and introduce you to completely new styles of writing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
