Here's how I deal with writer's block.
I know every writer gets those moments, I like to call it writer’s rut because I just need a little push to roll out of that rut.
-- I don’t agonize about format. Formatting is the last thing I want to think about when getting started on a writing project.
-- I type or write: just type, type, type, or write, write, write, for two whole minutes about my topic.
-- I don’t fix grammar: I don’t worry about punctuation, spelling, capitalization, etc.,there’s time for that later.
-- I let my thoughts just spill out: My flow of thoughts allows creative juices to start flowing.
-- I work fast: I keep typing or writing until I'm done spilling thoughts. This spilling holds back the writing critic within me.
-- I don't think about word count: Word count is not important at this point. I just keep writing or typing like there's no tomorrow.
It's magical...
Oh, and this is just the beginning. By the time I'm done with my full writing assignment, I'm be amazed at my own creative talent, and only because I keep in mind that formatting, grammar, and word count have nothing to do with just getting out of that writer’s rut!
