A "Game of Thrones"  Open in new Window. by Creeper Of The Realm Author Icon Review


Overall Impression: Wow! You've compiled a thorough list with many ideas regarding being in a writing slump. I like that you not only pointed out ideas on how to overcome them but gave clear examples, too. Getting into a rut is easy, getting out of one takes some actual effort. A lot of the lessons you've pointed out I have used over the years. If anyone is at a loss for where to begin, you've clearly given them a fantastic place to start.

Final Thoughts: There are good breakdowns between writing blocks, a lack of story ideas or direction, and just minor and major details when it comes to writing in general. We've all been at a crossroads, at some point or another, when putting pen to paper. I have the book of baby names, but I never thought about changing the spelling to make a name stand out. That was a great idea. Music and television are my go-to for writer's block, and I like the idea of going for a drive or a walk. A change of scenery really can have a positive effect. This is a really well-thought-out list you've made giving us writers alternative ideas.

Some may work, others may not, but the whole point is to keep progressing on this writing journey. Also, it was smart to include information about plagiarism. It is all too easy to take an idea and run without realizing you've followed that specific scenario right to the letter. Making the idea your own is essential, but sometimes, it is not easy. Sometimes, you may fall in love with a storyline and become so caught up in it that it becomes difficult to differentiate between someone else's story and your own. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this subject.
