How to Avoid Writer’s Block?

I thought lots of you guys may have achieved a writer’s block, while you have had your holidays. I know I once had such thing. No shame there, Joel Comm had one too and everybody needs room and time off. If we just worked every single day for 15 years, we would burn out, if you don’t then I wanna bet you aren’t a human.
You just need those breaks, which I definitely understand why.
Anyway, my #1 tip for avoiding writer’s block is “give yourself some space”
“Try drawing or painting a scene you’re working on. Often this will help free up your imagination” – Kevin Henkes
That was a quote, to be honest, that doesn’t work for me, anyway… It might work for you, I don’t know, not at all.
When you have had a writer’s block for a couple of days and just can’t get started, then you need to force yourself to write just something. Writer’s block, will probably slow your writing a lot and your imagination, which means that you wouldn’t be able to come up with topics to write about.
But of course, if you force yourself to write and just really are being productive (the guide on productivity will be found here), if you do that, then you probably will be able to get started writing just a bit. Start out maybe with some smaller posts (200-300) words per blog post and then increase each blog post till you reach its largest (which is how many words you wanna write on your blog, for each blog post.)
Another quote:
“I think writer’s block is simply the dread that you are going to write something horrible. But as a writer, I believe that if you sit down at the keys long enough, sooner or later something will come out.” by Roy Blount, Jr.
I definitely agree with the last point of Roy’s quote, that’s true. Remember use the productivity guide here, very important when you try to find the writer you really are.
“Writer’s block is definitely a topic that bore, me, well I hate it even more when I have it.” by Mikkel Juhl
A little quote about writer’s block, from me, hope you enjoy it.
“Don’t write what you know—what you know may bore you, and thus bore your readers. Write about what interests you—and interests you deeply—and your readers will catch fire at your words.” by Valerie Sherwood
Enough quotes for today.
Well I think that, you just need to get started with writing again when you have a writer’s block. Then you will suddenly fell, like you do not “have” writer’s block anymore.
I hope you are not getting a writer’s block, anytime soon – or that you have it.
