Happens to me every once in a while, but I've got a load of strategies to help myself get [b:caf5a2cb6b]"unstuck." [/b:caf5a2cb6b]
My top two strategies are to either get away from the computer or go work out or I'll go on an Internet research kick to drill down and better research ways to present the central ideas for the material I'm working on at the moment.
Another strategy that helps me is to focus on my end outcome and get real clear on the problems and desires of my target reader. Writing for me is about solving their problems in a fun & entertaining way.
How about you? How do you overcome writers block? Click on [b:caf5a2cb6b]POST REPLY[/b:caf5a2cb6b] to share with the board your top strategy.
1. act like you're telling someone a story. what can you do to make it interesting and understandable. then write it that way.
2. be clear and concise in your writing
3. don't make grammatical mistakes. it makes you look dumb and frustrates readers.
4. don't write anything inaccurate o fail to give credit where credit is due. that too can hurt your credibility in the long run.
5. bounce the idea off someone else and brainstorm with them. if they like what yo ahve to say, chances are your readers will too.
