Hi Фаны of Writing! I bet we all experienced Writer's Block before, heck, all writers must have. It's frustrating isn't it? So I devised 5 steps to get rid of it and get rid of it fast. If it doesn't work, devise your own plan, but here's mine.
P.S. If Ты don't know what Writer's Block is или if Ты haven't experienced it yet, I'm not giving an explanation so find out what it's like first!
Step 1: Don't Panic
-Panicking или fussing over your running out of inspiration will just make things worse and definitly lead straight to mind blank mode. So just relax and do something else other than writing. Writer's block does come from us over-stressing our mind with our stories after all. Ты need a break, simple as that. But remember to rest your eyes too или you'd either be getting glasses, или need your degree raised. It's not a good thing!
Step 2: Think of Your Ending
-If Ты are Письмо a story but haven't thought of the ending, Ты might want to skip to the Далее step first. After taking a break Ты should try Письмо all ending ideas down on paper and look through them. Seeing how Ты want to end it can give Ты ideas on how to connect that with what you've already written. Sometimes, that can be the immediate cure. And don't say Ты don't want spoilers. It's your own story you're the one Письмо it! Don't be ridiculous! Trust me, I've met people like that.
Step 3: Actually Finding Inspiration
-If Ты haven't thought of your ending или just want to find ways to make things еще interesting for your story, finding inspiration is essential, so the easiest thing to do? Read. Read Книги you've never read before that have similarities to your own story. I'm not asking Ты to copy, but think of it as comparing your work with others who deal with similar subjects. You're bound to find good ideas. Other sources include newspaper articles, fanfictions maybe, anime/manga, TV shows, movies...the Список is almost endless. Even your own fantasies, your life and things around Ты can help. Hey, I got some of my ideas from my life fantasies and crazy dreams.
Step 4: Involving Yourself
-Don't skip this it's important to know. Pretend it's yourself in your story. Write as if it's your own life. That way Ты can really make your story good and convincing. Good vocabulary and grammer alone isn't enough. Just remember to replace all first person terms with секунда или third person terms unless your story is in first person. Why is this important in fighting Writer's Block? Simple. It can make Ты last longer in Письмо so Step 1 doesn't have to be repeated often.
Step 5: Management and Drafting
-Once all inspirations have moved into your head, and Ты know how to write as if it's Ты in there, write down all ideas, as many as possible. Ты can refer to this Список if Ты don't feel like going through the whole 5 steps again. Then again, it's always good to have еще ideas but don't add too much in one story. It's not a good idea. Manage all your ideas in the order of your story, meaning, whichever happens earlier is at the вверх and...you get the point. After that, do drafting. It's advisable to use a pencil for this because Ты might end up throwing drafts away if they don't turn out how Ты expected. This helps Ты go through your ideas and let Ты see how well it works out. Ты can't just write everything straight from your head all the time as it can become awkward. This last step is honestly directed еще to Письмо well but it's in here because it can help prevent Writer's Block considerably effectively.
Well, that's pretty much it. I write a lot but I'm not that good so Письмо this was a little weird for me so if it seems strange please let me know. The way I wrote it, I mean. Anyway I hope this helps some of you. Enjoy writing!

Always running
All the time,
Chasing a dream
As I follow the signs.
Out of breath
I miss a turn,
I wander the paths
Ready to learn.
I start to get impatient
I'm working so hard,
So how come I'm not there yet
I've played all my cards.
Life is like a rollercoaster
Mine never stops,
It takes me round in circles
Back to the start.
There are so many highs and lows
Yet they''re all the same,
I need a change of track
Something different to my name.
Each step I take aches my body
And I'm waiting for the day,
That a different train will come along
And take me a different way.

A blazing sun,
Еда and Water
There is none.
Living on hope
Crying out,
Helping others
Around and about.
Children Shouting
They wail and cry,
Willing for a change
A signal, a sign.
They're grateful for everytihng
Whatever comes their way,
They're constantly working
All night, all day.
The air is filthy
They cough and they weep,
They want to survive
They sniffle and sleep.
Begging off strangers
It's all they can do,
Someone to help them
It could be you.

I have a secret: I'm afraid. I'm terribly afraid that I AM GOING TO DIE. I didn't ask for leukemia. Nor did I expect it. Especially not chronic myelogenous leukemia. Especially when chronic myelogenous leukemia tends to affect the OLDER males, and I'm only what, 14?
But do Ты know why it has to be a secret? I have a family: my dad and Jae, my youngest sister. [Yeah, I have two more, but, they're out of my life at the moment.] They cried their hearts out once I was diagnosed. They were afraid that they'd lose another family member--after all, my mother passed away after a car accident. I promised to be strong. For Dad. For Jae. For Mom.
But if being strong means that I have to hold back all these tears, that I have to surpress all my fear in order to comfort my family, sometimes I wish I didn't make that promise.

One lonely sunday afternoon
I sit in my chamber and have nothing to do
My Любовь is far away
I wonder if (s)he's already forgotten me
So I sadly watch the sky
See the raindrops passing by
One looonely sunday afternooon...
One looonely sunday afternoon
One lonely sunday afternoon
I'm even as my Цветы still out of bloom
I find some old photos, covered with dust
I cannot forget Ты although I know that I must
So I sadly let them fly
And this time I have to cry
One looonely sunday afternooon...
One looonely sunday afternoon
