How to Use Writing Prompts to “Unstick” Writer’s Block

By Savannah Cordova Stop me if you’ve heard this one: you’re at your desk, laptop or notebook open, hours stretching out before you… but you can’t seem to get the words down. You feel stuck, hopeless, and incapable of moving forward; in other words, you’ve got writer’s…

Shoutout to my fellow #writers who break their #writersblock while sitting on the toilet.

I wrote several sentences today.

Any progress is progress.

The Truth About #WritersBlock

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/small-talk-and-big-questions/202503/the-truth-about-writers-block

I just want to say, readers, thank you so much for your patience. I’ve had years of writer’s block. But I’ve had a breakthrough, thank God, like a major one, and I have some gems here that I’m slowly and carefully extracting. It’s not about perfectionism, it’s about doing justice to the story and the subject. I will eventually give you the books you’ve been waiting for, God willing.

Where did my 2024 creative flow and energy go?! I've barely written anything since the beginning of the year. Looks like I ran out of steam, or fell off the creative wagon.
Any idea how to get back on the train?
(please save me from these bad train metaphors...)

I can’t think of my writing as a commodity—though that’s how modern society teaches us to see it. It’s something we produce and other people consume.

No. That’s wrong. That can lead to #writersblock because it focuses on what others want.

I can’t write to the market.

All I can do is offer up the thoughts coming from my heart/mind and trust that the people who resonate with them will find me.

So, we meet again.

Today, I faced a major roadblock in my writing journey. No matter what I tried, nothing seemed to work. In this video update, I share how I tackled the challenge.

ngl, I relate to this. lol

Back when good things could come from Davos:

“It was here that Robert Louis Stevenson overcame his writer’s block and finished Treasure Island; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started skiing in the Alps; and Thomas Mann thought of the idea for The Magic Mountain.”

I'm having one of those moments when I have no idea how to write a song and am convinced I'll never write one again.

For context, I wrote about one or two songs per month in 2024, and I traditionally feel this way after completing Every. Single. One.

A very slow Monday morning... Been just staring at the screen for the past hour, and the sleepy cat is not helping. Maybe I should just go back to bed

#WritersCoffeeClub JAN-01 What are your writing goals for 2025?

Honestly? Writing at all. I brought my #WritersBlock from 2024 with me into 2025, so I just gotta hope, we part ways rather sooner than later this year.

#WritersCoffeeClub NOV-30 As of now, how many stories have you written? How many more do you have planned?

– on #GayAuthors, I've published 3 stories in English
– on #Boypoint/ #Queerpoint, I've published 6 stories in German
– on #Wattpad, I've published a short story, also in German
– I also co-wrote a story for an advent calendar, in German as well

before that, I wrote more stuff, I never published. As of now, I'm stuck with #WritersBlock for the forseeable future
