Some tips that you can benefit from and get over the writer’s block

Writing is an art and not many people in this world are born artists. We live in a world, where we need to deal with literary endeavors every now and again and if we fail as a writer then we most definitely can’t end up at a respectable place in this world. Firstly, in the schools, we get so many literary assignments that we end up cursing our fate as a student and eventually have to spend all of the time that we could have enjoyed with friends on stupid assignments. When we grow up and get a job, often we have to write the minutes of the meeting or the event reports that are asked by the higher authority and normally we don’t have much time; if we fail to come up with something interesting then we are shown the exit door most of the times. The problem is not that we can’t do it, the problem is that we can’t do it efficiently if we don’t possess the art. They say that practice can make you perfect and over the years, we write enough to be able to write anything afterwards. Even then it’s difficult sometimes to keep on writing when you don’t have enough creativity; sometimes you just get stuck in between compiling something and aren’t able to figure out which road to further take; the situation is known as writer’s block and even famous writers claim to have, at some point, experienced it. Let’s then discuss some ways of how to overcome it:

1.       The best way to deal with it is to just change what you are writing. This can be done if you are writing something for personal or creative reasons and not because it’s mandatory. Just shift the paradigm to something that you can conjure ideas on.

2.       Move your body, do yoga, exercise or just hit the gym. Research has revealed that doing so can open up your mind to new ideas and essay writing can become a lot simpler.

3.       Remove any distractions that might be hindering your journey to becoming a writer. Turn off your phone, deactivate social accounts and avoid people whilst compiling anything.

4.       The best time to write is in the early morning. So if you are stuck, make sure you wake up early one day and write endlessly. The birds chirping and the crickets singing will help you a lot.
