Answer 1

Look inward.The best answers come from expierence.

Answer 2

I know this sounds really stupid but it's how i come up with really good ideas for my writing.

When I'm stuck, or need more ideas, I act out my book-only some parts. After I act out the scene I think "Hey that's really cool, I can't wait to write that." It works for me, try it out. It's also pretty fun, haha.

I also draw pictures of the characters, if you're into that.

Hope I helped!

On a serious note, I think you may find this answer (by the user Persiphone_Hellecat) helpful:

It seems pretty helpful and sensible and practical - instead of saying 'Go run around shrieking 'Eureka!''

Answer 4

Try reading alot of other books to try and inspire yourself to continue your own, it works for me sometimes

Answer 5

sometimes the best way to motivate yourself is to go out and travel, think about the book as you travel and maybe inspiration will come to you. If you just sit down and think about the book, your mind will tell you nothing and you'll realize you cant think of anything. Get out and be active every now and then and as you're playing sports or hanging with friends see if you can use those experiences in your book

This is what me and my sister both did to get over our. My sister had a 3 month writers block it was horrible.

Her friend told her to just write everything that is on here mind. Everything, even if its silly or stupid, she should just let it out.

Remember nt to over think when you write, and don't feel self conscious about what you write. When something comes to mind no matter what it is consider it and think it though carefully.  

Just let the words go, do some different techniques, try them and see whitch is the best for you, things like that.  

Answer 7

well i think you need to have some relaxation get mind rest have a vacation explore again somethings you need to look around and find inspiration,if its does not work you can start focus now on eliminating some personal problems of yours,because stress is a main focus why some people cant express their self.its only a suggestion from an ordinary people like me i hope this might help..

Answer 8

I find that the best way to motivate myself is to hang out with other writers. Sometimes seeing them finish their work motivates me, and sometimes I can ask them directly for advice getting past a tough scene.

Are you a member of a writing forum? That might help.

Answer 10

Just relax. Don't think that you'll never write what you want to write. Go out for some fresh air and come back and write again.

Answer 11

sit down close your eyes and think. use your imagination, be creative. keep in mind what you've already written.

Answer 12

Imagine the feeling when you actually finish the book. Also don't write in order, write what seen you want to write. h**l, write the ending.

Answer 13

Listen to some music. Be relaxed too. But I always seem to get lost in music and just burst into thought! Don't be afraid to try different types of music, because I'm usually effected by what types I listen to, like mellow songs make me think of sad things, or lovey dovey things, while rock makes me think of an escape or a fight! I hope that helps!

Answer 14

get a tweezer and start pulling ur hairs when u dont write.  if that doesnt work then try smashing ur toes with a hammer or eating chili peppers to get motivated.
