My story's Update, Our Writer's Block

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still keeping you all posted. I've about finished up my final edits on my second short story, "Wishes in the Sand".  I should have it posted up at the end of this weekend. Like I said in my last post, I've been reading some books that contain a lot of dialogue; this will help me with making my dialogue flow a lot better my stories. Anyways, I was practicing around a little bit, and I got the most amazing idea for a novel! I've made my final decision on things. I'm going to continue to post my short stories on youtube, like I have been, but on the side I'm going to be working on a novel. I'll definitely be keeping you all posted on this. I'm very excited to share this with you guys. I've already written a lot on it. I've also found a nice tip, and I thought I would share it with you.

A lot of writers say, that at times, they hit something called 'writer's block'. I know a lot of you know what this is, but for those of you who don't: Writer's block is when you write for a long period of time, and you basically hit a a point where you can't write anymore. You're imagination sort of just shuts off. This usually happens when you've worked your brain to death. It wears off, of course, but it can be upsetting-especially if your working on a project. I found that a nice way to fix this, is to work on multiple writing projects. Please don't overwhelm yourself! I'd say keep it to about 2-3 projects at a time. It's also a good idea if you have one bigger project, and two smaller. That way you can work on your main huge writing piece, and when your brain is tuckered out, you can work on one of your smaller pieces. This way, you can continue to make great progress, while also letting your brain take a rest. Another good thing to remember, when writing, is to not write on an empty stomach. Not only will your brain not get as good ideas, you'll also want to rush your work. So keeping a full stomach, and also getting a good night's sleep, are great ways to help fight that writer's block.

Keep those imaginations flowing, and never talk yourself out of free thinking. Your imagination is unique, just like you are; Never suppress that.
