i have severe writers block.HELP?
i am writing a rock musical right now and am stuck on dialoge, stuck lyrics, stuck composing, and i just can’t seem to flood my brain with creative juices! can someone suggest something?! i can’t work because i have nothing to work with, but i need to work. hoe does one remove writers block?!?! HELP! THIS IS MY JOB…
the musical is about a group of misfit teenage boys at an all-boy catholic high school in the mid 60’s/ everyythong at the school is tradition, until a general’s daughter becomes the first girl at the school in 134 years.we fallow these teenagers through hormones, confusion, and change! THE ROCK MUSICAL IS CALLED “CROSSED!”

try to do some writing exercises to get yourself into the writing mood.
try some free flow writing and just writing a story about something you can see from your desk. virginia woolf wrote her story “mark on the wall” about a mark she saw from her chair. and was able to bring in items from society and her daily life.
if you can only think of questions maybe write about someone who has writers block and has to overcome it. it would be easy becuase you would be writing about yourself.
start yourself with some short stories, that way you do not have to create a whole novel.
write about something happening in your own life, that way you will be able to gather many facts and events becuase it is real to you.
the only way to get over this block is to just sit and write. even if you stare at the page you need to make time everyday to sit down and write.
or maybe pick some good quotes and try to make a story about them.
or pick a random picture from a book or online and create a story for how that picture came to take place.
good luck!!

Give somebody AIDS. LMAO JK.
Idk dude. Take a walk, take a breather. I love taking late night walks. Go for a RUN. RUN RUN RUN GIRL lol. Smoke a joint. Go for a swim. Have a few drinks(mojitos, anybody?) Watch some South Park. Join a strip club class. Take a vaction to Japan. Eat some cheez-itz. Take a hike, go for a spa day. You know, do stuff not related to writing, take yourself completely away from writing for a few hours or days.

What’s the storyline?
I love musicals!
Anyway, when I am writing I find that when I get writer’s block, pausing to take some time to write a bit of a short story with NOTHING to do with the plot of the original story can get the brain-juice flowing. I’d try that.

Get any of the books from Benrik “How to Change Your Life” is a good start. WIthin a few pages, you will be completely distracted and engaged on a thoroughly ridiculous, though sometimes serious mind exercise.
It helps the differnt sides of your brain to reconnect.
g’luck.
