Let's face the facts. All writers get writer's block every now and then. That time when Du Schreiben and Du just stop because Du can't get any ideas. I write all the time, so I get Writer's block constantly. And news flash...it bites! But there are some things I do to overcome them. This is a little Artikel to help all my fellow writers out there!
1. Take a Break!
Believe it oder not, it helps to back away from the story for a little while. I mostly write at night when my parents are sleeping. When I get stuck, I sit in the recliner for a few Minuten with my mp3 player and daydream. Mehr often than not, it helps me out!
2. Listen To Your Dreams!
As screwed up as some of my dreams are, they can sometimes be my creative outlet. Some of the things in my dreams give me ideas. I consider myself a Fantasy writer, so the stuff I see in my dreams helps me Von giving me a Beschreibung of a place in my story. For instance, Grunge Valley. A place in my story where the evil creatures lurk...
A land of eternal darkness. The skies are always grey and depressing. The valley was covered with thorns and decaying plants. In the distance, they could see the castle, tall and overpowering. An evil aura just seemed to reflect from it. How was it possible something could stand it here, Roni thought?
3. Media!
Another way to come up with ideas is to get them from your Favorit Bücher oder movies. I'm not saying to completly copy the movie, that's illegal! I'm saying just take notice of a few things Du found interesting in them.
For example; I'm recently re-reading James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. A thing I like about the book is how he introduces the comedy. The way the book is written, I could easily see it as a TV Zeigen oder movie. I can see it easily in my mind.
Another example, in one of my Favorit movies, The Brothers Grimm, the movie is packed with hints from other fairy tales. When Jacob hides in the mattresses when the tower is collapsing (The Princess and the pea), the queen's evil mirror (Snow White), and the queen's insanely long hair (Rapunzel).
Your keywords: I like how they did that!
4. Write It All Down!
It doesn't hurt to daydream. But when Du get an idea, write it down oder record it. The idea may not seem like a good idea at the time, but if Du come back to it later, like if Du write another story, Du may like it. Du might even tweek it a little bit. I can't tell Du how often I drift off and wish I would have done something to remember it!
5. Brainstorm!
When writing, it helps if Du know what you'd like to happen ahead of time. Something that helps me are story charts. Schreiben down the chapter and Schreiben what happens in it is a good way. Another thing Du could do is to make a baum web. Du know, those annoying charts they make Du do in math class for square roots and factors? Only instead of numbers, make it a sequence of events.
I really hope my Artikel managed to help Du a little:)

I know the way it eats your mind
The way your brain, eaten up
The one that leaves Du silent, blind
Long after you've had enough
I know the way it devours your thoughts
The way Du feel confused
It feels like a million knots
It leaves Du feeling used
I know the way it stabs your herz
The way it leaves Du here to bleed
It makes quite sure to tear Du apart
The time Du really need
I know the way it hurts your feelings
The way it leaves Du blue
Du say Du see, when not really seeing
Du say Du know, but that's not true
I know the way Du try and hide it
But then Du know you'll always find it
In the trees and in the gravel
This lie Du call friendship, I can't unravel.
