The writer's block

Funny thing  that is, 'writer's block' all writers go through it. Sometimes I'm getting ready to start a new chapter or a scene. Even though I have the entire idea inside my head, but it's hard to find words, or come up with the first sentence.
Lots of times I get frustrated, and walk away from the computer. Then again, I remember writing is to construct one letter at a time in order to build a full word and so forth... In another word, writing takes patience, time, love and determination. So don't hit the ceiling in time of writer's block!

Now, Let's practice these exercises together. Ready?

1) Have a cup of lukewarm water
That helps stimulate nerve and generate  blood flow to the brain.

2)Take a break, step out and breathe some fresh air
look up in the sky think about the story, and use this writing Mojo“What if?”

3) Go backwards, attack another chapter, and then return another time to the previous chapter. You'll be surprised how words will flow through...

4) Free writing/brainstorming
Time yourself for about five to fifteen minutes, and begin to jot down anything that your imagination tells you to write.
  

Again remember that,  writer's block is considered as all writer's infection. Don't let it creep on you. Manoeuvre it!
