Overcoming Writer's Block

423 Words2 Pages

Writer 's block has been a major problem for me in the past. I enjoy writing, but sometimes it is had to know what to say. I have tried many different ways to over come my writer 's block. Some ways were successful, others were not.
My first tip idea for overcoming writers block is to just walk away. It can be extremely had to think of what to write, but sometimes all you need to do is remove yourself and comeback to your writing later. I find that this really helps me. If I can not think of what to write I will get up from the computer and go do something else. I usually will think of an idea by the time I go back to write.
Another technique I have used to overcome writer 's block is to do research. If i know I am writing a paper on dogs

    The first thing that came to mind was definitely you’re class, where I grew to be a confident writer. In my class we read about the importance of “shitty first drafts” which I think helped take the pressure off writing an amazing paper from the get go. I learned how to write for the genre and tried to hone in on my audience for the paper. Once I had my first draft finished there was a peer review in class, which is helpful because not only do you get feedback from them, but you also get to read their papers, which can give you ideas on what you could do better. After that, I took their feedback, revised, and then turned it into my professor to get more feedback.

    Good writing stems from a strong foundation of reading skills. I remember sitting in the library of Griswold Elementary School listening to the librarian Mrs. Church telling us how if we are good readers we are good writers. As the group of eager little children that we were, writing was something that we loved to do and participated in often, so a chance of becoming better at it just made us want to read more. In this same library, the PTO held the annual Scholastic Book Fair, this event allowed kids to browse a selection of books and develop a understanding of the personal book genre that they enjoy.
