“’Writer’s block’ is just a fancy way of saying ‘I don’t feel like doing any work today.’” – Meagan Spooner

That’s just one of the many things that writers have said about writer’s block. It’s not real. It’s all in the head.

I don’t know about you, though, but there really are times when I feel like I have nothing. The ideas just won’t come, and even if I have a running list of topics, sometimes, the words just don’t make sense at all either. When all that comes out seems to be rubbish.

Even if other writers say there is no such thing, the chances are that you have had an encounter – or two – with writer’s block yourself. If that is that case, then this infographic will help you crush that block.

The visual was created by Now Novel, and it highlights 10 ways to destroy writer’s block.

While there are many suggestions online on how to do this, I think that this graphic provides ‘easy’ actionable tips that will get you through a tough writing period.

Here are the 10 tips, but go through the infographic so you can read the insights for each tip.
