How do you cure writer’s block?


I know there are a variety of ways to cure writer’s block; I want you to tell me specifically your personal cures.

I have all of these stories and all of these characters in my head and they need a home, but they’re all jumbled together living inside my brain. I just don’t really know where to start.

Suggestions?
Ideas?
Personal quirks/habits/etc?

Thanks!

Why do I get writers block, right when i’m about to write my essay? Help me fix this paragraph please?


I’m a great essay wirter, I really think I am.
But lately i’ve been getting serious writers block right when i’m about to write.
Here’s my crappy first paragraph.

“Howard Hughes’s [amazing, controversial, accomplished] life was excellently told in Brown and Broske’s biography, Howard Hughes: The Untold Story. The title of the book is rightfully so, because authors dug up many secret telegrams and interviews that not many people knew about back in Hughes’s times. They also uncovered the few secret documents that weren’t burned by Hughes himself. The authors covered his whole life; from his almost abusive childhood, to his psychotic and tragic death.”

Please help me revise. Thanks!
In the brackets are words im considering using there.

I know this is really crappy. My essays are usually a lot better. I just got the brain of a second grader right when I was about to begin.

What is a good character name for a novel and what would he/she look like?


My brain is out of ideas for a character in a story. I have thought all day and still haven’t found the perfect name and appearance of a character. Male and Female names please.

P.S. Do not steal names from movies or other novels such as Indigo Montoya, Batman, Peter Parker etc.
This is for a novel I’m writing not for an already made novel.
I also need appearances for male and female not just names

The reason why i want to pursue creative writing?


i need to write an essay on why i want to pursue creative writing. so far i have this:

The reason why I want to pursue creative writing is fairly simple. When I write its like I am putting my feelings out of my brain and sharing it with the rest of the world. When ever I write I feel like I’m doing myself a favor and letting everyone read what I feel and think. I get to explain my many thoughts and beliefs on paper using any technique of writing and words.

can anyone give me some more advice on whatelse i can say in my essay.

What poetry can accomplish in this world of creation is glorious and very powerful for the poet as well as for the passionate reader. How it fills the heart with immense joy and the mind with insight. In this new age of information, poetry has taken on a whole new level of excellence. I started writing poetry when I was twenty-four, which became a significant outlet for me to express my spiritual side of my character. The responses that I have had with people of all ages and walks of life reading my poetry has been deeply rewarding for me as it touches the person’s heart and speaks to them. By the means of writing my experiences in short poetical form, followed by sharing my poetry, has become truly a remarkable journey.

Writing poetry from the heart then sharing it with others is my goal. A special and close friend of mine said to me “what we create must be shared because there is someone out there that has wished to see or read that special creation”. How glorious it is when someone gets excited when we had became brave enough to share our work with them. I have found we have a need for the elevating beauty of art to uplift and influence the soul.

I prefer to focus on the beauty of reality in my poetry and not to be cynical and dwell on the gloomy aspects of life. I have come to realize that darkness is the absence of light; ignorance is the absence of knowledge. What we have come to learn and feel deep within there is a need to express those spiritual inner truths. My inspiration comes from a place of an enriching experience.

Follow Yourself

Open your heart

Show your art

Watch it become a part

Of its decoration

Of creation.

Watch it flow

Like the wind blows

Through the meadow

Be at peace with it

Watch it grow

Follow forward

To your inspiration

There is a destination.

Poetry is a wonderful exercise for stimulating the brain. A change in previous ways of thinking and becoming open to new experiences is the key. The fruits that can come from revealing our inner expression can help our spirit to soar and reach such great heights that it can branch to other grand opportunities as we expand our thoughts and become progressive with our writing or any other wonderful form of art for that matter.

I wish for you many enriching experiences and grand opportunities on your journey through life!
