[glow=purple,2,300]Have you ever experienced the almight Writer's Block? if so... how do you deal with it? Do you just let it stay and let it leave whenever it wants to leave... or do you run it over like a mad truck by simply forcing yourself to write? What are some of your techniques of getting rid of it (if any) ...and do you think there's a way to prevent it from happening? ...and is there a term for artists who lose inspiration to draw/sketch/paint/etc...?[/glow]

I don't really ever consider myself as having writer's block. If I feel the need to write something, I will. Sometimes I'll write three in two days, and then go for months on end with nothing. It's just all part of my cycle, you know?

There was a time this year I couldn't write for months. It's frustrating when your life revolves around it. I would sit there for an hour with the paper and pen and just go "ahh F*CK" and throw it down. I thought I would just have to wait and being the impatient little spaz that I am, I just couldn't. I tried all sorts of things, reading, going outside for inspiration, observing people ... nothing. I don't know how I came to overcome it ... I think I forced myself to write until something decent came out.

For me right now I think I call it Trapped. I'm writing this Harry Potter meets the Bratz story and after 17 pages or so, I'm stuck. I have no idea where to go. That's why so many of my stories are unfinished...or it could be that I stopped caring. Usually, I only write when I feel the need to. I hate forcing myself to write because the end result is usually something crappy.

I've got a road block in my mind right now. I'm listening to good music to see if it will spark any inspiration Concrete Blonde.

When I realize that I've hit writers block I try to do two things: 1. Painfully force myself to write or 2. do something that has nothing to do with writing or even being creative in any way, like jogging. Strange I know, but it helps me.
