4. Talk to a Friend

Describe to a friend about the content that you are writing and where you got stuck. Your audience is one person, so this will make you more decisive.

Or you can imagine the explanation to help you see the bigger picture and not get sidetracked. Although it sounds simple, it can be extremely effective.

5. Deny, Deny, Deny

This is when you refuse to believe in writer’s block. You can always write something. When your creative juices run dry by mid-morning, you can “change channels” to rewrite or write monologues about your minor characters. Or re-edit some of your old articles and update them and add some new links!

6. Let Your Subconscious do the Work

Do not think about it. Head off and make a cup of coffee, look out the window and let your mind idle. Your subconscious will continue to work on your story and will tell you when it is finished incubating, and you'll be amazed at how much work you have done in your head.

I’ve even had a nap and set my mind to find my next sentence, and when I wake it’s there waiting.

7. Stay Calm

Take a deep breath and let your mind provide the next line. Re-read what you have written and you will be surprised at what suddenly flows through your fingers.

Every book has a moment where you don’t know what to do. You just sit there and the best solution appears. You would not have thought of it if you had walked away.
