Need Help Getting Rid of Writer's Block?

Do you have writer's block? Stuck on what to add to your story? Not sure how to make your book whole? Afraid that what you're going to write will be too cliche`? Afraid no one will like your novel? Here are some tips on how to get over writer's block and how to get over the fear of someone not liking what you write.

Afraid someone won't like your story?

Don't worry about it. Who cares if one person doesn't like your writing; it's your writing. If you like writing it, chances are, at least one person will like reading it! Even if it is just one person, wouldn't you be happy that you could at least make one person smile at the best you can make your story? I know I would, even if it was just one person.

And if that one person happens to like your story, maybe they'll recommend it to people who like stuff that that one person likes, and you may have more people reading your story and giving it a good rating!

So what I'm saying is that, who gives a damn if someone doesn't like your story? Someone else is bound to like your story.

Thinking that everything that is a possibility of writing next in your story with be too cliche`-ish?

Think over everything that could happen that would make it cliche`. Now, add a small twist to that cliche`. Say if someone in your story were to say, "I love you," but you think that's just too usual to say, but you don't know how to have that character express his/her love for that person, instead you could write it on a card.

Put that card in a bouquet of roses or something and then leave it at there door step. Simple as that. I changed that cliche` up a bit and made it more original.

Just plainly don't know what to add next in your story?

Take a minute and think. In all honesty, what do you think would happen if this were a real life situation? Say your character didn't know what to say after a guy that's loved her all his life finally tells her, and she doesn't love-or even like- him back.

What would you say in a situation like that? 

Here's what I'd do: 

After he tells me, I'm dumbfounded. I don't know what to say. I just stare at his face before finding that things are getting awkward, and I look down at the ground.

"Do you?" He persists, trying to get the words out of my mouth that he wants to hear so badly.

"I-I'm sorry," I whisper, feeling the tear slide down my cheek. "I-I'm so, so, sorry."

I turn, quickly, not wanting to see his hurt, and I run the other way, as fast as my little feet can take me.

See? That took me less than five minutes because that's what I would do! Now, do forget to add some description in your stories, too. I was just giving you a jist of what I mean.

Also, do not steal that small example above. I am using that in one of my stories, and I will not allow you to take credit for my work. :P

That's all I can think of right now.

If you still have questions about writer's block, you can always message me! I'd be happy to help and add more to this story!
