Sometimes you need a pick me up. Some days that comes from something as simple as coffee. Other days you need a bit more of a push to get things done. Still others nothing seems to be able to draw out the words from your soul.
That's okay. It happens, even to the best of us. Nothing is always simple, if it was, everyone could do it.
Sometimes pulling yourself out of a funk can be hard. A few things I do to keep things moving, I'll share with you today.
*Read a book. Really, go pick up your favorite and start reading. Find what about that book makes it good to you. Learn from that.
*Start Free Writing. Free writing is a good thing to do to just keep your brain moving and your writing going forward. Just type whatever is in your mind. It can be as simple as I don't know what to write so I'm just going to tell you about my dog.... It doesn't have to be productive, it just needs to be done.
*Go back and Edit. Take a few steps back and go back and work on editing if you are stuck. At one point you had the story in your head, going back can sometimes job your memory.
*Write a different part. That simple, stuck on one part, write another! You can always go back and write between them.
Find what works best for you and work with it! Sometimes even writing prompts can get your words flowing.
Happy Writing!
