Writer's Block - How to Cure Blocks of Creativity

Everyone, even the most successful of writer's, goes through writers block at some point or another. It's hard enough to write when you have a muse, so what happens without one?

Experts relate this mental block of creativity to a subconscious sense of fear - fear of the unknown or a lack of courage to submit to the flow of your extensive imagination. Either way, your rather theatrical slump needs to be wrestled with - and soon! Time is always of the essence so let's take a look at a few quick tips that may help you out...

1) Keep a journal - Simple as it may sound, when you keep a daily journal of your thoughts and feelings, you force yourself to write each day. Remember, this writing is just for you, so don't fuss with spelling and grammar - take the liberty to put yourself on paper.

2) Reflect - Find a quiet place, sit comfortably and close your eyes. Think of an emotion -any emotion- and then reflect on your strongest memory of that emotion. Now observe that emotion as the mature writer that you have become...finding the space between objectivity and subjectivity. Now when you're done, try and write out your experience.

3) Move out of your work space - The environment in which your creative juices flow becomes crucial to your movement out of writers block. It may be a good idea to move out of your usual writing space and forget about your pc for a while. For example; take a walk, sit in your garden or even lay in a bath for hours - just remember to take paper and a pen along with you...you will never know what may catch you off guard.

4) Get exotic - Hire a foreign film that you have never seen before, in a language that you don't understand. Watch it without subtitles. Then write out what you think the story line is. This is rather fun, and it gets you writing from your own perception. When you're done, watch the film again with the subtitles (just for the heck of it).

Hopefully these simple steps will help you to get cracking on your keyboard once again. If not, at least you would have discovered how to be your own muse.
