The thing that every writer runs into at some point. The dreaded writer's block. Many people have many different ways to try to help it so I've tried to put all of those together for you.
[1] Music
Music can help the writing process flow a little bit easier. Especially if the song you're listening to fits the mood of the part you're writing. If you're writing a scene where your characters are having an argument, you might want to choose an angry or a sad song.
[2] Reading
Reading an actual book (not Wattpad) is something I have also found to help me with some writer's block. It can give some new ideas or it can just give your brain a little break.
[3] Be Creative
Try to do something else besides writing. Draw, paint, write something small like poetry, anything that'll jumpstart your creative process.
[4] Switch to Something Harder
If you're writing more than one book, you can switch to the book that you think is harder to write, that way, when you come back to what you were having a hard time on, you'll go,"Oh! This is easy!"
[5] Frustrate Yourself
Try writing "I have nothing to say" over and over. You will be so incredibly frustrated that you've been writing that idiotic phrase over and over again, that it will be easier and less painful to actually write that part of your story.
[6] Go for a Walk
Try going for a walk. It can give you time to think and be a nice break from looking at that screen or piece of paper. If it's a nice day outside, you'll also be glad you did it.
[7] Take a Shower
Sometimes in the shower you can come up with some good ideas and that's because you can focus on your writing while doing something that calms you.
[8] Act out Your Scene
Acting out your scene either by yourself or with a trusted friend or family member might be able to help you along with the process of what's going to happen. Notice their movements or the way their voice changes, or even what they might add to your dialogue to make the scene flow naturally.
[9] Take a Break
Taking a break from writing might be the only thing you need, especially if you've been writing for a while. Your brain could be tired and you could just want to sit down and turn on Netflix.
[10] Outline
If you jot down your ideas and the stuff you've already written (explaining the main points briefly,) the snowball effect might happen. One idea could lead to another, and so on.

A Guide to Writing
Non-FictionOk, so I know that there are a lot of these books out there on Wattpad. The reason I decided to write this book was because I found it hard to find actual guidelines on the internet for this kind of stuff. So I put together what I learned from many...
