Breaking Writer's Block

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

In life, there are some terrible things that we encounter. Food poisoning, roadkill, and idiots are just to name a few. However, there’s one horrible thing that occurs when we least expect it, like a shark attack. It’s something unexpected like most things in life and about as satisfying as a plate of expired chicken. What is this ungodly occurrence you ask? Why it’s simply known as writer’s block. Most of you know about writer’s block. It’s when you want to write and the ideas are present, but your brain refuses to cooperate.  This is something everyone endures and like puberty, it’s just as terrible.

There are many methods to combat writer’s block, but I’ve discovered a method that the iconic writer Ray Bradbury used and helped.  Now normally, I don’t do other things that famous writers have done to help them, but this technique I found has actually helped me.

Ray Bradbury used to make lists to get out of his writer’s block and it definitely works for me as well. The best way to create your list is to physically write it out because it awakens your brain. It can be a list about anything; a grocery list, things you have to grab when you go to Walmart, a Christmas list, things that make you happy, anything. By crafting your list, your brain is stimulated and generates various topics that you can write about. Your brain is also focused on writing more and is ready to take on whatever projects you’ve had in mind.  

So if you ever find yourself in a case of writer’s block, feel free to go ahead and try this technique out.
