Yahoo Answers is full of questions on how you get rid of Writers Block. I don't think there is a sure fire way to rid yourself of Writers Block. I have had it before and to be honest I am having a little Writers Block right now.
Most people say to keep writing and don't stop. I do the opposite. Writers Block with me means my mind needs a break. So I will distance my self from my story for a few weeks to a few months and let my self recoup. Then I can come at the work with a fresh pair of eyes and a well rested imagination and mind.
When I start getting annoyed with what I am writing or want to just finish that too is when I see I need a rest. Pushing through and just trying to finish is not the right thing to do. Because when you look back you see it was probably rushed and not what you would have written if you would have taken a break.
After the break come at the story again. Hopefully you are then able to write. Never give up on a manuscript even if you take a break from it for years. One of my favorite stories I wrote I left it alone for two years while I went on to write other novels. When I came back I finished it in a matter of months.
Tips I have read may help:
*Listen to Music*
*Play a Game of Cards* I find this helps sometimes.
*Read a Book*
*Watch T.V*
*Video Games*
*Take A Walk Somewhere Inspirational*
*Make a Paper Airplane and throw it at who ever is in your house* be cautious with this one as they will likely throw it back at you, LOL. Just play around and distance your self from the writing.
*Hang With Friends*
And Remember Writers Block happens to the best of us, LOL.
Happy Writing!
