Do you listen to Story podcasts, or music? Do you read books, or go down to the park and listen to the birds? Whatever you do, share it here!

I practically live wrestling with writer's block, but my favorite ways to combat it are:

  • Looking up writing prompts.
  • Making lists of your favorite genres, tropes, ideas, etc.
  • Reading books you like and determining what makes you like them.
  • Getting a writing buddy who will hold you accountable, and then setting a timer for about 10-15 minutes while you both write as many words as you canβ€” any words! It becomes a friendly competition with your friend and with yourself, and it's very effective. I'm not very competitive, but this would be extra useful for people who are.
