Writing for me isn’t a process of pushing. I don’t feel the need to get so many pages done, or pressured to write. I’ve got lots of projects going on, so that’s one thing I’d advise anyone. Switch back and forth between projects you are excited about.
Allow yourself to write when you are at your most creative. If you are a morning person, then allow yourself that time to do it. If a night person, then do it at night. Not writing when you really want to write makes you blocked when you are not in your peak frame of mind.
Be open to creativity when it comes to you. It always does. Jump on it. That means writing on a notepad or index card in a crowded place when you think of something. If you don’t feel like writing, then don’t . That’s not a block.
