As a Blogger I depend on ideas and my mind to help write blog posts but every now and again I get writers block and my productivity goes out the window...
I have several methods of clearing writers block and nine times out of ten I can get back on track and write my blog posts...
Method 1:
Take a walk to the shops or to the beach and as you go on your walk look at what people are doing, listen to the noises atone you and let your mind take in the world around you...
Method 2:
Open a word document and type a random word, eg. Bread... then think of other words that relate to the word and create a chain of connecting words eg. Bread, toast, food, eat, drink, coffee, brown, ect...
This should unlock ideas and words that may inspire you...
Method 3:
Play a game on computer or console...
If you play a game that has some storyline that draws you in you will lose yourself for a few hours and when you stop playing you will have ideas and thoughts about the game, take these and look at the meaning of the elements and use this time to get your brain thinking about things... This should spark a few ideas for you own work...
Method 4: leave your workspace and look out the window, look at the scene and pick out objects like tables, chairs, ect... Then look at how the item sits with everything else does it blend in or stand out, think about why you picked that item and focus on the color and texture and try to describe it in as few words as you can... You should be thinking about things that should spark the idea in you head and can add great insight to your written work...
I hope this can help anyone and if so leave a comment, I hope you can use these techniques to get rid of any writers block you may have...
Thanks for reading...
