Writer’s Block, Help Please!

by beth on June 30, 2009

I have writer’s block. But it’s not blog­ging that I’m strug­gling with. Instead it’s my dis­ser­ta­tion. I have a real dead­line of hav­ing every­thing done by this August, I’m 5 chap­ters down out of 8. And it’s a firm dead­line because money is on the line if I don’t make it.

Any feed­back on how to break writer’s block? And per­haps some ideas on how to struc­ture writ­ing time?

I can use all the help I can get. I have got­ten this far & am so close.

Read what you've completed already? Sometimes that gets the creative spark going again.

Good luck

Sometimes just taking a break and trying not to think about it at all for half a day works. Just clear your head.

By the way found your blog in the forum of the momblognetwork and LOVE it!

this may sound weird, but when i write i like to 'live out' something that is going on in the story…it helps give me perspective and i start to see different ways it could play out…plus being able to play a character for a while gets the creative juices flowing!

Thanks ladies. I think I have figured out that it's not that I don't know what to write but what happens when it's all over.
