Some tips, which work at different times: * take a break before coming back to it - do something else for a hari and don't think about your menulis at all during that time. Focus on other things. * take a break before coming back to it - write something else (any of the longer-format menulis games in forum threads here on fanpop can be sufficient) * change your location where anda write * change your mechanism for menulis - if anda write in a notepad usually, try typing on a computer. Try getting a tape atau digital voice recorder and talk about the story * try outlining the story * try menulis a different part of the story. Often anda will know where anda want the story to go, and sometimes menulis that part will energize and inspire one to write the stuff that comes before. * try describing the story to someone anda trust. This works best in person, speaking face to face, but it doesn't have to be that way. Sometimes a block comes from not knowing how to advance the story because one can't quite put the finger on what the problem with the story so far is. Trying to explain a story to a person who is hearing it cold can often prompt one to realize what the problem is atau make a decision on how to address the problem. * do stream-of-consciousness writing. Take a notepad and pen, and start menulis whatever comes into your head. While usually nonsensical, such menulis is often quite lyrical. Doing the menulis can be relaxing, and membaca it afterward can be inspiring. * Do something else creative - make a film, sing a song, go dancing, craft something from clay, make a collage from old magazines, get some paint and work on expressing yourself on canvas atau paper, build figurines out of paperclips * write a detailed critique of someone else's writing Basically all of these are different tactics for one strategy: getting your mind to actively work atau exercise on something else. Often we writers get discouraged, take a break and do something vegetative, like watching TV atau membaca a book for pleasure. These things are fun, but they don't exercise your mind. anda want your mind to be toned and fit, ready to tackle menulis again.
