Does anyone here know how to get out of a block? I know exactly what to write but when I sit down to do it I can't. Same thing for drawing.

Its called inspiration-- if you are inspired you wont have a block unless your wrote yourself into a corner-- in which case-- i laugh at you - haha! Yeah---

To inspire yourself you have to overload yourself with Stories and images-- from this you dont copy from but use the emotions generated from those to help focus and break through your trouble spots.

If i cant draw- i watch some movies and some anime and listen to some weird music- that gets me thinking and normally breaks any block i have.

My block on writing has lasted 2 months but I was finally aable to write a little bit tonight. I have everything in my head it is just when I sit down to write it my mind goes blank. Thanks for the responses.

write down all the things that will happen, if any specific order, label that. when writing, just discribe all the things that lead up to the next event. it took me a while to get Ch24 and 25 in my story done.

I have a specific play list of songs that remind me of one of my characters- she's a loving, cuddly, viscious half-demon assassin. And the music reflects that. Trained my brain to equate hearing "Breaking the Habit" with her.

Okay, maybe bad example of song choice, but the point's there.
