I always struggled to get my creative juices flowing. Thankfully, I think the more an author writes the better they get with these things. As I was travelling back and forth, I remembered essentially what the beauty of writing really is all about: making statements. It’s very important to keep going on about your life when you are working on a book for many reasons, but most importantly, what do you do when you hit that brick wall that doesn’t seem to fade or give in to time? Well, here are 3 ways to get your creative juices flowing again.

Change Your Scenary

Hey, it works. If you are used to write in a dark, candle-lit room (don’t judge me) with loud epic music in the background then do the opposite, go to a coffee shop, plug in those noise canceling headphones and write. Recently, I went to Kuwait and stayed at a hotel that offered a great sea-view and my first thought was “I can’t wait to write to this!”

Here’s a picture for reference:

With this beautiful view, the sound of waves and buzzing noise outside gave me the inspiration and motivation to write the scene that I always shied away from: a great horde is coming towards a rich city, but now more than ever, all must band together to try to fend off this attack (honestly, if you get this reference, get in touch and tell me what you think this is, and I legit will ship you a prize).

Sometimes, this is the single thing you have to do to get out of the writing slump. Even writing at a different location of your candle-lit room might do exactly that for you, and whatever you write: DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING. Move them in a separate document, and call it “trash.docx” or whatever.

Live Your Life

A lot of writer blogs often tell you to force yourself to write even if you don’t like it, however, if you don’t have a main project at the moment, it is absolutely fine to go out, have fun and enjoy yourself. Writers should always write from experience, and that is why you shouldn’t miss out on any sort of experience because at best, you’ll have fun and you’ll have a great tale to tell. And at worst, you’ll have a great tale to tell.
