Tips How do you deal with ”writer’s block”?

(This doesn’t have to explicitly be about your RGT writings!)

Say you have an excellent idea for a text. Be it review, article, opinion, anything—but no matter how hard you try you just can’t get the proverbial ball rolling.
Do you have any good strategies for dealing with the dreaded writer’s block Do you just power through until something sticks or do you have any creative solutions?

For me personally (speaking as a creative person), since writing is a very, like, tertiary creative endeavor compared to my more prevalent muses, I usually have to just sit and wait until a thunderbolt of inspiration strikes, and then take full advantage of that high to just blast the subject matter out of my mind and onto the paper/document.

Not always, of course, but I suppose it feels easier that way since I’m maybe not as experienced a writer as I’d like to be, and getting in the swing of things can likely only come from powering through more often!

Well… I’m constantly writing — at work, on the internet, and for my own stories (fun fact: I never actually finish any of them XD).
So when people talk about “creative block”, I honestly don’t relate that much. I rarely get stuck creatively.
My real problem is laziness. I’ve been writing the same chapter for about three years, always stopping and restarting — it’s basically an eternal hiatus.
But if there’s one thing I can recommend, it’s this:
treat writing as something fun. That mindset works like magic.
Instead of thinking “OH MY GOD, I HAVE TO WRITE THIS AND IT HAS TO BE PERFECT”, nah — just be free.
Write to have fun, to laugh, and for the experience itself.

AAAAAAAAAAND i must say...
My experience on this site, both writing and reading posts, has been really fun and a great way to pass the time :,P
I hope I can do a lot of things here.

I’m pretty shy on the internet, but talking and writing here has actually been a really nice experience.

Weird to say it, but "just keep writing anyway" is a shockingly good answer.


When I get blocked I move onto writing something else entirely. Even if it's utter bollocks at least it'll probably help to unclog me. Usually I aim for Spike Milligan-style Nonsense Verse.
