Whether you are a novelist, a writer or just need to get that email sent, we all encounter writer's block sometimes. "How to Beat Writer’s Block Online" from Mashable gives several tips on overcoming this work-slowing problem.
Find inspiration. Try switching radio stations, surf YouTube for funny videos, walk away from your computer for a few minutes, go outside for a walk around the block or visit Flickr for a change of scenery.
Re-focus. Correct what you have already written. Type anything, even a poem or lyrics, just to get the words flowing.
Try language games. Rhyming dictionaries, word-association sites, and visual thersauses can help unlock your writer's block.
Brainstorm free-form. Jot down thoughts, even random ones, relating to your topic.
Go social. Use your social network to generate ideas of where to go in your writing.
Hopefully, these will unstick you when you've got a case of writer's block.
Until next time,
Sarah
