*BLOCKED*: A Writer's Biggest Enemy


As a writer, you must have faced the atrocious writer's block, one time or the other in your life. Whether you were writing a book, an article or just a blog post like me, it might have hit you like an axe on a tree, leaking out all the ideas that are usually all set in your mind. We all have gone through this pain, that transforms us into a blank page with no pen around. And going through a writer's block at work is the worst, as your boss is never going to understand that pain of your inability to get all creative. Apparently, that's just an old, lame excuse to handover it to someone else. Well, say no more, I have got some tested writer's block cures that can help you regain your creativity and help you start your work once again. 

1. Work Out


Leave alone your laptop and get into your workout clothes! It's not necessary that you should go to a gym or do a hardcore workout routine. Go for a jog outside or just play your favourite song to shake a leg. The workout is not to lose weight or get you that summer body, it's just to get your mind off writing and into other stuff like picking up your laundry, paying your bills and more. 

2. Read


Reading can be called as the workout for your mind. When you are unable to give your 100% while writing, get comfortable with a book and start reading. Accompany it with a cup of strong coffee or your peaceful playlist and your work is done! As you read, your mind will forget all about your writing disorder and will drift to more creative ideas. 

3. Hangout with Friends


This might be the best way to utilise your inability to write. Call your friends and go out for a cup of coffee or shop your heart out. It can be a big stress buster and you will be able to finally meet your buddies as well (we all know you were trying to delay it since a gazillion years!). And the best part about hanging out with your friends is that you would end up with some great new ideas for your next blog post! 

4. Watch Your Favourite Series


Sure, you can no longer download your favourite TV series online, but I'm sure you have a whole stack of your favourite series like Game of Thrones, Friends. the Vampire Diaries and Suits safe in your hard disk. Grab a bucket of popcorn and start your laptop marathon on your comfy bed in your jammies. This will easily help you have a laugh without stressing over your blog and will give you that much-needed break!

Writer's block can become the biggest enemy of a blogger (yes, more than your competitors!), but overcoming it is not an impossible task. Opt for one of these easy to do cures and you will be soon publishing an exceptional blog post with a confident smile on your face! Happy Blogging!
