This one actually comes from my brother. His was a solution to art. When he couldn’t digitally paint, he’d switch to pencil. If that didn’t work, he’d switch the paper from white to a yellow legal pad, he’d switch to painting or markers, or . . . a red pen.
When we’re blocked creatively, it helps to switch up how we’re trying to create.
If you can’t type on your laptop, try handwriting your story. Try different inks, or on your computer try different fonts. Change something.
A lot of writing is the art of tricking your mind to do it after it says it can’t.
