The best advice I ever got when taking creative writing was to keep writing, do a journal every day. This was great advice so I will pass it on. Try to write positive things, even in the worst of times.

If I have a problem with writers block, I try to clear my head and think of something that I saw, heard, smelled or touched that made me smile, then I jot down some thoughts about the experience. Another trick is to think of a memory that meant something, then jot that down. This helps get the creative juices going.
