Try something new.

Take a step back.

Imitate a style of writing you've never tried before.

Do something you've always avoided.

Push your comfort zone.

Check your character to see if it isn't related to their story and evolving personality.

If all else fails, force it.

The last one is something I've had to do numerous times over the years with forum rp. If a week or two passes and I've got nothing, and my rp partners are waiting, then I've gotta get something out. Even if it sucks. Even if every word comes screaming out of my fingertips and I have to pull them out by their roots. Sometimes the only way to clear out the rust and the cobwebs is to clean it out with activity.

But sometimes that doesn't work, either. Everyone has their own way of dealing with writer's block (as Gus so aptly named it), and your best bet to discover your way is to try different things. Could just be you need to go out and not think about it for a weekend and come back refreshed. Could be you n eed to get involved with new writers or circles of rpers to get inspired and excited again. Could be any number of things.

But as long as you're interested, don't give up. You got this. Smile
