Writer's Block

Hello blogging world! The Scott Odorico here to talk to you about my experiences with writer's block.

Writer's block is an interesting, and yet very common, condition which effects all writer's, whether your a high school student like me, or a professional author. It is defined as a condition in which writers often get and stops them from producing new work, just as it sounds.

Now I have not had one of those typical movie moments when you see the trash can slowly fill up with crumpled up paper, but I have had my fair share of mind blockages in my years of a writer. In the cases when I have had writer's block, I usually cannot figure out a way to start the story or paper and just have a ridiculously hard time figuring out the words to write down.  In some cases, listening to music is a way to stump one's writing blockage. I found this song on Youtube, and it fits the occasion perfectly.

When I have a hard time with writer's block, I try to break down my project or paper and try to make it as easy as I can. I start the project (which is usually the hardest part) and do all of the easy stuff first to make it more "attractive" to me.  Then I try to do the stuff that is most enjoyable for me, which is tough to find.

Like I said, I haven't had one of those movie perfect moments of the writer trying to figure out what to write and staying up for long periods of time, but even I, yes, The Scott Odorico, has even been stumped once or twice about what to write. This last video I found pretty entertaining about writer's block and how this person gets out of it.
