Writer's Block

     There is always that moment when you're writing a story, come to a dead end, and just put down your pen(cil) in defeat until another day. Well, you don't have to give up for the day. Sleep brings thoughts and ideas as well but do you have trouble with remembering every detail of your dreams? So that doesn't help much either, does it? The best advice I can give is to: A) surf the Internet for nature, people, suburban, etc pictures that you connect with. Next, pick up that pen(cil) and start describing in vivid detail what you see. Don't push yourself. The words to describe the picture should come a little easier as you get started. B) There is free writing where you write down everything you're thinking nonstop for as long as you'd like. Even if you have nothing to say, you write "I have nothing to say here," and continue on.
 Here's an online version of that: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/composition/brainstorm_freewrite.htm. Read the directions or scroll down to before the "Teacher's Note" and click what timer(there is also an untimed one) you would like. C) If the weather is excellent and you have a park to walk in, I suggest taking a notebook with a pen(cil). When you get tired of walking or see an inspirational area, stop and sit on a bench. Describe the scene before you in complete detail, including the five senses.
     If none of these worked for you, please leave a comment saying so and I will make another post with more ideas of how to get over writer's block.
