Writer's Block and How To Prevent It

Writing is a great thing to do. If you have what they call writer's block, then that is a problem. To prevent is to try and keep a list/or track of what has happened. Keep the ideas flowing and and don't stop to turn around. The more ideas that are or could happen are important to have.

Example of no signs of writer's block:
The night was dim as candles flickered in the shadows of my bedroom.

In this sentence I mention the night and how it is dim. The candles flickering, meaning they are running out of wax. Lastly, the bedroom shadows. This sentence sets up for more, readers could be wondering many things. For instance, what are the shadows referring to? Who is saying this? ETC.

Example of signs of writer's block:
The man was a murderer, he kidnapped my neighbor.

This sentence, well, sure it may be interesting with the murderer theme. However it has revealed everything to wonder about. That would cause a lack of revealence meaning you will have nothing to write about.

Steps to keep a clean road of writing:

1. Have lots of ideas for your storyline.
2. Integrate them into the plot slowly.
3. Make the perfect sentence to perpetuate that idea.

Now I hope that writer's block is not in your writing future!
