If you have ever suffered from writer’s block, then you know how frustrating it is. There is only one thing that works for me. I know there is a lot of advice out there, like writing prompts or just keep writing through it. I have tried both. What works for me is so simple, it may seem silly. Read!
Whenever I am stuck on something, I go to the library, because it really is the best place. I find a random novel, whatever I am in the mood for. I take my rented prize possession home and just start reading. I usually get in a few chapters before ideas start swirling and my creative juices start flowing. Not because something in the book gave me an idea (although that has been known to happen), but because I have entered a new world and my imagination is free of stress and plot holes. I am just reading to enjoy, and BAM, I am back to being a writer. So next time you are stuck, try it, and let me know if it works for you.
