Some will say "Just keep writing." That's like saying "Keep splashing" when you're drowning. Aspiring writers deserve something more concrete. So, here are five things I fall back on. They work for me. Might for you.
1. Go back to paper. If it was good enough when you first learned to write, it's good enough now.
2. Use pencil. It requires pressure. Contact with the paper makes a nice sound.
3. Erasers are optional. You can cross out passages. Later, you may be glad they're still around.
4. No screens in the room. Only music.
5. Slow things down. Then, chances are the words will come and come.
