I've been having issues with writers' block too. It's not that I don't know what to write. It's not that I don't want to write. I'm actually better prepared for this story than a lot of the one's I've written in the past. I know where I'm headed for once, instead of just wandering blindly into the story. I've outlined the plot, and I know most of the scenes that I want to put in the story.
So, why can't I write it down? I've even written out a large portion of them in my mind, but when it comes to putting it on paper, it never happens.
I just hope it ends. I told myself I'd finish this story before school starts again, and I've barely started. |

That's got to be frusterating. 
I've been on writer's block for a few months. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote five lines of a story and then got stuck again. For some reason, in most cases, I'm either writing like crazy or on writer's block. Once I get back to school, I should be off it; I draw a lot of my ideas from school and with me not really doing anything this summer, I've been lacking inspiration anyway. |

OMG! i get the worlds' worst writers block sometimes. To negate it I go to the gym  helps get rid of the stress bunnies so i can think properly. Also 'cos there is little at the gym to occupy my mind with, it can be a great place to think about characters or plots etc
Goodluck
Love
Kris

When I get writer's block, I read or listen to music. It's oddly inspiring.  |

I try to de-streesify myself. How do I do that?
I relax in a perfect encironment. By perfect, I mean all 5 sences are saying, "Wow, this is great!" I burn a scented candle, look outside, listen to my favorite music, make myself comfortable, and eat chocolate.
If you can't do that, just eating chocolate will do
EDIT: OK, I seriously have writers block. Whenever I type in the chapter number and title, I've always followed through. This is bad  |

well, a it after i stared writing, i suddenly had writers block. then i found Techno. ive been good to go ever since^_^
and if that doesnt work, put some on you pod and find the biggest hill you can. stand up there (i lean against my bike) and stare into space. i usually am staring into space anyway...
since i live in a development that has a bunch of empty lots next to each other, they have been turned into an awsome bike/ATV track, with hills, jumps, and forest paths. there is one pretty big hill over there i go on when im bored out of my mind |

I really need help.
I've been writing an outline to a story for the past 6th months, but haven't been totally serious about it yet. I vowed that I would start seriously writing after Summer, but the other day when I was looking for a book, I read the back of another book and it's synopsis on the back was oddly like my book. Now I have never read that book, but it seriously discouraged me and I find that I should think of a new story even though I really like my old story.
And now every time I try to think of a new plot it seems that I can think of another book almost like it!! Help me. |

| I don't think that my current problem isn't writer's block so much as nervousness... I don't want to write something because I already have a completed manuscript that I can't seem to submit... |
