stressed out and down on yourself this
can end up in a vicious cycle where the

time you spend writing and less
motivated you will feel here there are
10 ways to break that cycle and get back
on track first of all join a writing
group there is nothing like bouncing
your ideas around and getting feedback
from others to kickstart your writing
and a writing group is a perfect place
to do so joining a writing room can
provide you with invaluable support from
like-minded people who will help you
reach your writing goals next do some
exercise exercise can work wonders when
it comes to clearing your head giving
you energy and relieving stress so if
you're struggling to write why not close
that laptop and get out there into the
great outdoors get that heart pumping
breathe some fresh air and return
feeling energized and inspired next read
a book sometimes the best way to find
motivation is to seek you from others

remember how glorious a craft it is and
find new ideas for their own stories to
get them back in the writing game pronto
and next go to the cinema it's many a
writers dream to write a book that gets
turned into a major blockbuster so why
to the movies to see how it's done

that you know would translate well this
way to next write a short story
sometimes writing a novel can feel too
overwhelming and that's what gets us

and start small instead write a short
story and get the satisfaction of
completing something from start to
finish this then might make you feel
more ready to take on the next more
significant piece of work next have a
brainstorming session instead of staring
at a blank page desperately trying to
get the words to come out try some
writing exercises to loosen you up
instead a brainstorming session where
you just relax your mind and let all
your ideas come out can be a great way
to find some little gems that will
motivate you to get writing once more
