Often when I’m writing, whether it’s an assignment or a free writing activity I come across a state of mind known as “writer’s block”. To put it in simplest terms, it’s when you lose the ability to create new work or form new ideas. When I feel as though I’m going through this kind of moment I often like to pause what I’m currently doing and engage in a different activity that’s completely irrelevant to the one I was working on prior. I also find that relaxing your mind and thinking about other things can help with writer’s block.
