Anybody have any helpful tips on how to deal with writer’s block? #plebchain

What do you want to say?
Some things that help me:
- vomiting stream of consciousness words on to the page
- going for a walk
- meditating and breathing techniques- these help my creativity a lot
- talk about the content I want to write with a friend
- waiting until the last minute before a deadline, freaking out, and letting my stress and anxiousness do the work for me
Oooh I forgot one more - high carb snacks - great for the brain (at least for me). If I’m too low on carbs I get all spacy
I'll second going for a walk.
Changing your writing environment can help too.
You might also try writing something unrelated, such from a prompt. If you look up writing prompts on Pinterest, there are plenty to choose from. A helpful exercise for loosening up and getting into a creative flow.
🤔 will give these a try!
