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!

Writing The Perfect Sentence In Three Simple Steps

You might be wondering how to write the perfect sentence, start by thinking of what your actually trying to write in the paragraph.

1. Know your topic.
2. Brainstorm words that describe your topic. It can include colors or adjectives.
3. Mix in articles to those words and make sure your result is what you want.

After you have the basics down use commas to add more detail and thought to explain what you are trying to say.

Examples:

Cinnamon Apple: The crisp apple's scent wavered towards my nose, creating my senses to grasp the temptation.

Cats: The furry beings sat on the fluffy pillow that lied on the purple couch with stripes.

River: The elegance of liquid gallantly streamed down the blue river near my neighborhood.

Hope you now have your perfect sentence.

Listening to Music?

By now you may be wondering if you should or can be listening to music while you write. That is totally up to you, many different people have many different styles. The types of music that I prefer to listen to are the soft and stimulating songs. Some are classical and some are a bit up beat, but whatever you prefer is the music you should play. Everyone is different and has different taste for music and songs.

My personal artist to listen to is Erin McCarley. Her songs I favorite are:

Love Save The Empty
Blue Suitcase
Pop Gun
Amber Wave
Just Another Day

I also like Taylor Swift, so I recommend her songs too, then again you probably have your own taste.

Good accounts to sign up with or browse, that provide a variety of ranges of music are:

Spotify 
Pandora
GrooveShark
Beats Music 

You can browse these sites or sign up for free. Of course if you want no ads in-between some songs then you can pay extra money to have them removed. Otherwise they are great to use.

Happy Listening!
