How to cure writer's block

• three strategies
  • gather supplies
  • Talk it out
  • Start with abundance

Gather supplies

• instead of writing essays, write phrases
• Writing more about your experiences, thoughts and ideas can have long-term benefits
• The mind works by association, "the mind looks for trails of thought, and once they find one, good ideas create more good ideas."
• "If I save three ideas per day, I’ll have 1,000 by the end of the year."

Talk it out

• "Speaking with smart people is a guaranteed way to unlock creative inspiration, and when the conversation is over, I write new ideas down."
• best ideas grow in conversation, not in isolation
• find the perfect balance for you between spending time away from the keyboard and writing.

Start with abundance

• start writing when it's impossible not to write, don't start with a blank page
• write with your notes visible and available, that way whenever you feel blank, you can get inspiration and ideas from your notes
• Sebastian Junger once wrote: "If you have writer’s block, you don’t have enough ammunition."
• "Instead of creating new information, you organize the information you already have"

• Don't try to be creative at your computer
• use your environment, experiences and conversations into a pile of notes/phrases/thoughts
• Start writing when you have plenty of information in your notes
• And you just make writer's block a thing of the past
