    Some tips for dealing with writer's block:

    - Take a break from what you're doing and put it out of your mind. Staring at the computer screen or piece of paper doesn't help at all.

    - Walk outside, and go on streets you normally wouldn't if possible. Exercise helps to clear mind and even give some perspective especially if its outside.

    - You need to not worry about failing, and realize most people aren't very original in their writings.

    - Get the main ideas down before touching it up. Writer's block often times is a result of feeling overwhelmed by the task. Its fine if your article or story isn't good because you can alter it later on to make it better.

    This is a short guide to overcoming writer's block:

    Listen to music and write down words, sentences, thoughts, whatever comes to mind at the moment. Don't worry about it sounding good or even making sense, this will just help you get your creative juices flowing. For me, spending a lot of time alone, just thinking helps me get creative. Try doing that..good luck(:
