Hack Your Way Out of Writer’s Block
This website has some ideas on how to get out of writer;s block. Some of the ideas are a little unorthodox:
Talk to a monkey – Explain what you’re really trying to say to a stuffed animal or cardboard cutout.
Add one ritual behavior – Get a glass of water exactly every 20 minutes. Do pushups. Eat a Tootsie Roll every paragraph. Add physical structure.
Make a pointless rule – You can’t end sentences with words that begin with a vowel. Or you can’t have more than one word over eight letters in any paragraph. Limits create focus and change your perspective.
This makes me happy though because then I can suggest some of my ideas:
Get drunk (and write about it!)
Start a right (and write about it!)
Eavesdrop on public transportation (and write about it!)
Steal and object from someone’s home (and write a story that includes it!)
Write about a very intense, personal, embarrassing secret a friend told you and just change the names.
