Welcome back! I'm Hannah.
Today we're going to talk about writer's block. So first off, writer's block does not exist. You're gonna have times your writing comes easy,
and you're gonna have other times where you're gonna have to work for it,
but you cannot be blocked.
You can be exhausted or unmotivated or distracted or scared, for sure. And those are the problems we can fix.
So these are six tips for dealing with writer's block.
First, the most important thing is not to over-criticize yourself. Write drunk edit sober. That means that they are two separate processes, so don't try to edit while you're writing.
Just let the story come out, and then go back and edit it afterward. If you start to edit while you're writing,
you're gonna get caught up on details and you're gonna lose your momentum and probably not finish the piece.
Tip 2 is to eliminate distractions.
If you're trying to write with people around, or the TV on, or on your lunch break while you're also inhaling a burrito,
you're probably too distracted to actually get anything done.
So close the door turn on a white noise playlist or some classical music or whatever you need to focus and concentrate on what you're doing.
Don't try to multitask. You can try to clear your head by taking a walk or meditating
or even writing something else. Sometimes you're just overthinking things and you need to take a step back from it.
Tip 3. Try to write at least a little bit every day. You can use a writing prompt app and just free write for 15 minutes.
Or you can schedule a writing time for specific projects. There are different times a day where writing is easier for different people.
So morning or afternoon or 3:00 a.m.
I write for at least three hours a day, so I'll spend 15 minutes on video tutorials. I spend 15 minutes on writing blogs
I'll spend half an hour on short stories or poems
I'll spend another half hour on this a writing course that I'm developing right now
And then I'll spend at least two hours on my novel. That's three and a half hours
I spend at least three and a half hours a day writing
I like to chunk that time into 15-minute intervals too, so I'll only focus on writing for 15 minutes
and then I'll get up and
Walk around the house or unload the dishwasher or something clear my head for five minutes
Then come back and focus for another 15 minutes
And that works best for me because I have a very short attention span.
So if I'm like I'm gonna sit and write for three hours
I'll die.
It does become easier with routine and you're gonna find that you're blocked less often.
Tip 4. If being overly critical is what's holding you back and try to do a writing sprint
that's where you section off 15 or 20 minutes a time and you sit down and you set a timer and you're not allowed
to stop writing until that timer goes off. So using a pen and paper
is easier for me because I type too fast and my brain is not keeping up.
But you just write literally anything you think of, hopefully it's on topic with what you're trying to figure out,
but if it's not, cool. You just keep on writing
and then you go back after and hopefully pick out the sentence or two that works out. I wrote one of my short stories in
a writing sprint on the first try. I sat down and the first sentence
I wrote is the first sentence of the story the last sentence I wrote was the last sentence.
So sometimes just an entire piece will come out. Sometimes It's trash. Sometimes
you'll get one or two sentences that work, but either way, you're gonna get somewhere. You can also do this with bulleted lists
where you just list out possible solutions to your problem,
just kind of brainstorm it out, and eventually you can hit on the answer.
Tip 5 is to take a break and write something that's fun and easy
like a journal entry or a chapter of your fanfiction.
I like Clexa western AUs. If anyone's writing that.
Send that over.
Writing something a little less serious might help you remember that writing is fun and get you back on track.
My last tip for getting over a writing dry spell is to read, because it's the closest you can get to writing without any of the work
and it'll get you back in the right headspace, and hopefully give you some inspiration.
My favorite comment of the week was Nick, because same. And not Adam, because I'm tired of your shenanigans, Adam.
Thank you to my Patreon supporters, Travis, Krystal, Andrew, John, Seth, and my dad. Had to think for a second.

So, please if you have to send them to me. So for this video tutorial,
I'd like you to perch on the arm of whatever chair you're sitting on and assume your favorite yoga position.
I've been a fan of this one lately. I used to do this in every vlog because I really liked how mad people got,
telling me it wasn't my leg
when it was my leg.
People on the internet get really mad about weird things.
