O.K so i have writers block?
i’ve had writers block for quite a while. i’m 14 (i know im young to be writing) and i’ve been writing for two years. im on my second book on the second chapter on the first page of the second chapter. i have a book telling what the chapter is going to be about but i can’t seem to put it into words. i’ve recentely watch a film called shakespear in love or something in english and he got righters block because he was heartbroken. i have recently fallen for someone who doesnt like me in that way. is this why?

You’re not too young to be writing. Better practice now so you don’t struggle as an adult later. I’m a newly turned adult, and I go on sites and read stories by them. Most of them just start out, and I realize they’re definitely not at the level I’m at.
I’ll be frank, I don’t believe in writer’s block. It’s an excuse to procrastinate and take a break from one’s writing. This technique might not work for you, but I force myself to keep writing, even if the scene is totally horrendous. After all, it’s only your first draft and you’re only 10% done with your novel when you finish your first draft. If you’re not the kind of person with a strong will, take a day off from doing your novel and do what you enjoy doing. The next day, you’ll come in with a fresh mind, so you should be able to type with no prob. That technique works with everyone, including when you’re about to start your rewrite and you just can’t seem to find anything wrong until you put it away for a long time, come back to it, and realize there’s everything wrong with it.

Who knows why it came. But to get rid of it, go back to s story you wrote ages ago, like when you were ten, and start copying it out. I can never help re-writing sentences and paragraphs. Then when your writing fluidly, go back to your novel.

im only 15 so your never too young to write, just relax and think as the others said. but of course writers block shouldnt happen and i never had it but just think of whats going to happen in your book next and what the characters are going to do until you come up with something. you can always change it later

Start a new project. Rejection changes your cognitive state, so you may not relate to the material as well. Begin something new and work through it.

I’ve been writing since I was very young, and one thing I’ve learned is that sometimes the words flow out of me. At other times, it seems like nothing will come. I feel uninspired or bored at the very thought of writing. However, the number one thing to remember about being a writer is that writers WRITE. It doesn’t matter if you feel like it. It doesn’t even matter if it’s good or not - that’s what re-writes are for. Try to set a goal for yourself and write one or two pages a day. Even if you are dissatisfied with the results, you can always tweak it later. Also, it keeps you sharp and encourages your muse to return. Don’t fret though! Just keep writing.
