In high school I really loved writing and did it almost everyday. Now that Im going into my third year of college, Its harder for me to write. Many things have happened in my life that you would think would inspire me but Ive got nothing. I really want to get into writing again. What are some writing exercises or tips to help give me that spark that I had once before?

  2. http://onlyforyou.free-stuff.com.ru

    you can get much information in this website,kindly stay a minute in website and check anyone link at a time

  3. Free writes always help. Just write anything that comes to mind. Write by hand for awhile if you are used to using the computer or visa versa.

  4. I usually listen to music. It helps me zone out and then I can write again.

  5. I've Got a little cheat book that's litterally a little block of ideas called "The Writer's Block" by: Jason Rekulack.  It's a small block of a book that's 3x3 squared but it's packed with 786 ideas to jump-start your imagination. :)  I love it!  I bought mine at Books-a-million but I'm sure you could find it at your local book store.

  6. Try some freewriting (start writing anything that comes to your mind and don't censor, for those that don't know) and see if that sparks any ideas that you want to explore.  You may also try keeping a journal of thoughts, dreams, and daily experiences, just to get into writing again on a regular basis.  You never know what random thought or experience will trigger a writing frenzy.  Good luck :)

  7. One of the biggest and most used exercises is what is called "Brainstorming".  

    This is something you might remember using and has reminded you about it, or maybe this is new to you. In case it is new I will quickly explain.

    What "Brainstorming" does is when someone wants to write about a certain topic, but can't really think of how to start it, or what kind of sub topics would be included.

    You just sit down with paper and pen and just start writing.  Not sentences, or even thoughts necessarily.  Sometimes its just a bunch of words that come to your mind when you think about your topic.  They don't have to make perfect sense, its for no one's eyes but yours.  Just write write write for a period of 15 minutes or so.  You can repeat it again a short time later and then start circling and marking out different ideas or words you wrote down, and go from there.

    I hope this helps.  Good Luck,

    ps.  Writing is about passion, and it seems to me you have the passion you just have to ignite it again, and that is done by just writing as much as you can about things in your life you experienced or that just interest you a great deal.
