Writer's Block : Do's & Don'ts
It hits you when you least expect it and
when it hits you, you don’t know where to turn and what to do and it
hits every writer in every form of writing. A writer having got his first
screenplay contract will scratch his head till blood starts pouring but
cannot find a way inside his characters head. An article writer looks at
the deadline and remembers his heydays when words flowed like water and
now looks surprisingly at the dry tap which is open but nothing is pouring
out and believe me nothing can prepare you for it. Your god like powers to
twist and turn words into symphony for your audience and that very
important but often insulted term money for you eludes you, like a
beautiful women a woman who was your soul mate, your bedmate who laughed
and cried with you now is standing there indifferent and you don’t know
what to do.
|
So before I delve
into what to do I will delve into what not to do :
1. Don’t look at that bottle, that cigarette that whatever is your crime
for salvation, it the perfect strategy for doom and depression.
2. Do not question your ability and inherent writing instincts they are
not gone just your brain cannot find the missing file.

3. Do not believe that if you do
nothing but wait for some time … some days … some years …. Get my
drift. You may well write something else on some other topic on some
other character but the writer’s block that you had will not go away
for that specific problem which gave birth to it in the very first
place.
4. Don’t give to much attention to it because if you do that it will
turn into a nagging spouse that will not let you sleep, eat, etc...
Etc |
Now having established some ground rules on not what to do let us
look at what to do
|
|
|
1. Research:
most writers ignore the power of research and very
often fiction writer do that if you have got a character problem
write the complete bio on that character from his birth till now do
research on the setting, back-story, secondary characters and more
often then not a insight will at you in your face and article
writers and other technical writers need to put in more and more
research because that’s what gets you a new perceptive
2. Writers block does not mean that you have forgotten how to write
so don’t stop writing write a free flow character graph write
whatever comes top your mind if you want one page write fifty and
then squeeze it to get what you want. |
3. Sometimes
writer block comes from inside from your own thoughts
about a particular topic or issue your own perspective
clouds your objectivity .fiction writers don’t want
their characters to do something which they themselves
don’t agree to and find ways to go around that, that’s
dangerous a writer need to be dispassionate and
objective about his article, issue, topic or character
do not allow your own demons and angels to cloud your
writing.
So here are some do and don’ts this list is not by any
means exhaustive but I do hope it’s useful in bringing
that elusive beauty called writing back to you.
