I begun writing daily and on all sort of topics since I joined Steemit and I somehow made a habit of daily writing but sometimes I would just open the browser put my hands on the keypad and nothing would come out. Nothing worth writing and sharing on Steemit so I would stop. I would very often go out and take a long walk, take a look at the Danube which is right across my house, I would talk to people and don't think anymore about writing and about the thing that I have to write. That's the thing that got me inspired easily, the fact that I took out of my mind the <strong>need to write <\/strong>and I simply focused on something else and out of the blue an idea comes that somehow was stringed to a whole story or narrative and I would note it and as soon as I got home I would open the page an let the flow of words fill the page. Another thing that I do is riding a bike whenever I have such a block. I do that because there's a bit of effort involved and when you move and sweat your brain releases endorphins and you become more relaxed and happier and in that state ideas and inspiration come into reality very easy. Another trick that I have is to listen to music. I either do that while riding the bike or simply when I am at home. I disconnect myself from the writing process or at least what I was trying to write and put some music. Not necessarily a relaxing one or one that has too much rhythm, but something in between. Something that somehow keeps me alert but it doesn't make me day dream a lot either. This way I get very often inspiration for writing. You don't have to force writing though. You just need to let it flow and find activities that take you to that flowing state. <\/p>\n<p>That's my insight on the topic. Hope you found it useful and wish you a great day!<\/p>"}" |
