- Overcoming writer block
In partnership with
We’ve all been there before.
Staring at a blank page for minutes.
Playing around with our pen or cursor.
Procrastinating not because we don’t want to work.
But simple because we don’t know what to write.
If you’ve never had writers block, you have no right to call yourself a writer.
I’ve been there myself and so have you.
Writer’s block is the bane of every writer’s existence, but it’s not unbeatable.
In todays newsletter, we’re diving into practical strategies to break through those cycle.
Lets reclaim our mind-
Free writing, let it go.
Set a timer for 5 minutes, and go wild.
Write about anything.
I really do mean anything.
Talking about that one time you pissed off your teacher, that time you felt sick.
Literally anything.
The goal isn’t to be perfect, it’s to get into motion.
Get started with writing and watch as your flow state just sticks.
You may even come across your reasoning through writers block and uncover a new story.
Change your environment.
A change in scenery can really jolt your creativity.
If you’re stuck at your desk, try getting up, make a coffee or even go on a walk.
Often you need to give your mind some time to breathe.
Rearrange your workspace, dim the lights, or play ambient music.
Even small changes signal to your brain that it’s time to think differently.

Use writing Prompts
Prompts are like a new kickstart for your brain.
Pick one that feels unrelated to your current project to ease the pressure.
For example:
“Write about a stranger who leaves a mysterious note in a library book.”
Spend 10-15 minutes exploring it, no strings attached.
Prompts trick your brain into playing, often leading to breakthroughs.
Take a Break (Intentionally).
Step away from your computer for a purposeful break.
Go on a walk, have a gym session or even listening to music is therapeutic.
The key is to engage your senses without forcing words.
Studies suggest short breaks boost problem solving by letting your subconscious chew on ideas.
Set a timer for 20 minutes to avoid spiraling into procrastination.
Switch Mediums
If typing on a computer feels stale.
Grab a pen and a notebook or vise versa.
The tactile shift can rewire your creative process.
Try dictating ideas into a voice recorder or even sketching a scene before describing it.
Changing how you write can bypass mental blocks and make the process feel fresh.
