Crisis. How to get inspiration?

Crisis... It happened to me before, but I could find a way to express my feelings eventually. And this "eventually" was usually in 1-2 months. But it's been six months since my last inspiration, I am depressed, I can't find right words to write something...
What do आप do, when आप can't think of something to write? (Help me please..)

लेखन जवाब

harold said:
1. Read. Read stuff आप enjoy, read stuff that is challenging for you, read something आप normally wouldn't read, read stuff your फ्रेंड्स या fellow प्रशंसकों have written.

2. Critique the लेखन you've read. As part of the criticism, think about how आप would have written it differently.

3. Write some non-fiction: write a movie review, poetry, instructions on how to use something, an interview with someone, या even a transcript of an overheard conversation (VERY useful for modeling dialogue).

4. Buy a newspaper, take a story at random, and turn it into fiction.

5. Write a journal. This is actually the first thing I thought of when I read your question, because every writer should keep a journal. Then, when आप have a dearth of ideas, आप can flip open your journal and explore some of the ideas you've captured there.

6. Use one या और of the लेखन prompts पोस्टेड here (in the लेखन club, as part of the writer's group या in the club links) या elsewhere as a jumping-off point.

7. Write stream-of-consciousness: put your pen to paper, start with a sentence, and write as fast as आप can whatever comes into your head. Fill a page that way, then stop, take a break, and come back later to review what you've written. Often you'll find some good nuggets there.

I'd just think about my life. आप could try to look back at personal experiences, या go out one दिन and take special notice of the little things that आप always miss. Even the little things in life brings some ideas, like when I was in a train या out watching football. I write सूपरनॅचुरल and कल्पना so I usually look at my life and take and turn memories out of it to fit in a story. Look at your फ्रेंड्स and family for inspiration on characters because there's bound to be some interesting ones in the mix! आप don't have to, but what I sometimes do is look up into the sky and try to picture तस्वीरें in the clouds.
Also आप could borrow inspiration from tv shows, movies,books and transform it into something new and original. Sometimes I randomly flip through the dictionary and point randomly at a word and try to invision a sentence या a plot around it.
Also I दिन dream a lot and take inspiration from them and my dreams.

Well, that's what I do, hope it helps in any way!

I get inspiration from life, my feelings and intreacting with people. I like to talk to people I wouldn't normal talk to. Other times I watch या read something that makes me overcome with emotion. Oh and FYI if आप just broke up with someone stay away from the प्यार stories! It can be bad! I mean it even if it was a friend आप stopped talking to, the whole thing may back fire.
Happy writting:)

Well is what I do: Take at least one घंटा for yourself, when nobody's at home, या at night when everybody's sleeping, and try to think what आप feel inside. And puuf, there आप go. Hope I've been helpful.

आप know what? I'm a artist and an लेखक at the same time. and I प्यार to go and look at wonderful and mysterious artwork. and with the strangest pieces I think of little stories behind it. I write it down. What I learned from a famous author, is that, the और आप write the better आप get. So that's what I do when I have writers block with my novels. I take a break, get my mind off of it, look at pictures and things just come to me.
I don't know if that helped. But that's just me.

Think about what आप like, like a tv sjow , than think about what would be a good episode या what would happen if a new character was added, या even change an episode a bit to another way in which आप like. Think, also about people,yourself, या historic figures and think about what they lived through. In music, write about why आप think that the song was written, how it came to be, या the meaning behind it.
For बिना सोचे समझे stories, think about your dreams and mix them a bit till they have a plot (I did that with my story "weird dream")or even grab the closest thing अगला to आप and even if it's just a कोक bottle आप can still write a story about it. I'm sure that even a कोक bottle has a story to tell. Or, do what i did, write an लेख about trying to write an article, when आप have all those thoughts traveling through your head and not being able to decide on which one to pick.
जानवर are good for stories too. Even plants. Imagine what a फूल could be thinking, what its wishes are. what it does when no one is looking. Maybe it has been the witness of an interesting event. It all depends on looking beyond what normal people see. writters turn the impossible into reality in an even better way than anyone because it's inside the mind of people that they will see this so they will think, feel, hear, and smell things और vividly. Inspiration will hit आप if आप just look beyond.

something i find fun is this: for a character, i think of someone in my life (you don't have to like them) and write a fictional story about them. it doesn't have to be anything special, just enough to get your brain working.
i often look at the titles of पुस्तकें and tv episodes to get inspired. for example: P.D. James' The Murder Room. just write what ever image comes first to your mind.
hope this helps!
