TheAshes: Writer's Block

TheAshes 09.20.11	list is digs, I'll take recs
IAmHollywood 09.20.11	usually turning music off makes me focus
Trebor. 09.20.11	Write a bunch of random shit Write what you did today and what you plan on doing later
ZombicidalMan 09.20.11	I've only written like ten reviews total, but usually when I get writers block I open up a Word Document, and rant about an album I absolutely despise (or if it's for school, a topic). After that I seem to be able to write about the other thing I was going to =P
Knott- 09.20.11	Stop trying to write what you've already decided it's going to be. Write four paragraphs, even if it ends up having nothing to do with what the first line's about, even if publishing it would get you arrested, even if it doesn't even make grammatical sense, even if it ends up in Hungarian.

Sowing 09.20.11	go for a run
aok 09.20.11	i listen to a song carefully and just think about how to describe it in few words. i can rarely write about an album without listening to it and really asking myself what comes into my mind when i'm hearing it. also, i don't smoke weed when i write.
WashboardSuds 09.20.11	I'm a bit blocked myself atm
Blindsided 09.20.11	Whiskey.
americanmusicmachine 09.20.11	two words my friend, sexual release
Gnocchi 09.20.11	@Suds that sounds a little sus, I just stop writing all together let life go on around me, then if the ideas start flowing again, pick up a pen and paper.
aok 09.20.11	sexual release for me = not doing anything productive for a whiiilee yo.
aok 09.20.11	^nice ipod
Gnocchi 09.20.11	"^nice ipod" what bit?
Gundlach 09.20.11	Deadlines help the most for me. Not exactly like you have one for writing an album review, though.
aok 09.20.11	i feel like a lot of the best writers on this site post in bunches and then not at all for a while. deadlines would kill their flow
Gnocchi 09.20.11	Depends, some of the guys on here can just keep spewing them out, me for example works 52 hours a week and only gets mondays and tuesdays off doesn't really have a lot of time to do that.
Trebor. 09.20.11	I have a problem with motivation
Irving 09.20.11	Read Staff/professional reviews from other sites. It's amazing how much it helps.
Divine 09.20.11	Read a book
engleprunt 09.22.11	Write about something you want to write about. Stream of consciousness helps. Anything except what you NEED to write about. Come back to that after you're refreshed.
Voivod 09.22.11	I keep on writing, even if what i write is complete bullshit. There is a time when the bull ends and inspiration comes back. Without writing bull first, there's no inspiration later.
TheAshes 09.22.11	Nice tips here guys, thanks
discovolante 10.01.11	I'm a Morning Musume fanatic. >__> And hope you got out your writer's block in time! I have no tips since my brain is unfortunately always running...
spillingmercury 10.01.11	Get into a messy relationship or addiction. I usually write while listening to other people talk, like in class or when I'm being antisocial. Usually I write down the things I hear that I like, and improvise off of that or restructure it to flow better. Or I read books/lyrics and write down parts of it that I like structurally.
