5 constructive things to do to kill your writers block

Gah!   Not another finger-twiddling, brow rubbing moment when you just can’t come up with the next awesome idea you need!   Try these excercises to get your cogs a-turning!


  1. Draw a Map - If you physically plan out an area in your story, you might think about other places in the world that could be used to make your plot more interesting… For example, Next to the secret biogenetic lab, there could be a childrens nursery where the scientists dropped off their kids… which are growing into evil mutant babies as a result of the bio-radiation!
  2. Think in someone elses shoes - It can be easy to only think from one character’s perspective.   Choose a character you haven’t thought much about… what are they up to at this point in the story?   What do you think they’d do?
  3. Fill out your world - It’s not just people in your world (I’m assuming…)!   Think about some of the wildlife, or the plant life, or the giant man-eating mountains!
  4. History repeats itself - If you’re struggling to write what is going to happen, have a think about what has already happened!   You can always incorporate some of what you come up with into the story to build up a connection with the world.
  5. Talk to someone - Unless you’re ridiculously paranoid about someone stealing your idea, talk to a friend about your story.   They’ll be able to offer some fresh ideas and point out any plot holes you might have missed!

So no excuses for not sticking to your deadlines!
