Beat Writer's Block

It's nothing to be ashamed of. You could be full of ideas but still you find yourself staring at the computer screen, the cursor flickering as though it's mocking you with every appearance. But worry not, there are plenty of things you can do to get that cursor moving again.

• Go away! Not too far, just enough to get your mind thinking about something else. You could...
  
• Watch TV - people say it's mind-numbing at times but is that always a bad thing!?
• Read - A book, a script, a newspaper, it doesn't matter what it is really.
• Go out - see friends and talk to people or go to a museum and take in some culture, it might kick-start your writing brain again!
• Write - Text your partner, parents, siblings or friends. Email someone. Write a short story or 1 page synopsis for something completely new. If you're forming sentences and narrative it won't be long before the script is back on track.
• Go to bed - You might be too tired. You might just need a nap but with no distractions and a bit of relaxation you might find yourself forming the new ideas you've been searching for.

 These are, of course, just a few basic ideas which could help you through your Writer's Block but if you need a little more help there are some very interesting books on the subject.
