So I almost didn't post today due to the fact that I was having a Writer's Block. For every time I pick my pen, I felt like I have got nothing upstairs. It seems I lost the creative flow or the right diction to start my article. I bet a whole lot of steemit users do have writers block. Do not worry, today I am gonna share with you some tips that helped me get over mine. Well before I go into that, I do like to take a few minute to highlight the causes of writers block.

Not been at the right environment.

Wrong Writing Time

A break in regular writing habit.

Not knowledgeable about the topic you want to write.. Etc..

Just like the old saying goes 'Approaching the problem from its root can help you cure it permanently '.
Now we have seen the causes, we will be heading over to the ways through which we can get over writing block.

Take a 20 -25 mins Walk:
Taking a walk around our surrounding, admiring nature and it's beauty, noticing the busy nature of the people around us sparks up our creativity. This method works best for me hence the reason why I take walk having a pen and a jotter with me.

Read book
This is a good way to go when you have no much knowledge about what you are going to write about. Reading books can also help you get a writing topic and increase your use of lexicon .

Record an Audio
When I am not oppotuned to take a walk, I just make an audio recording with my phone. I just express what I have in mind or I speak on a topic I am super knowledgeable in. The results; an awesome article.

Listen to music -Classicals preferrably
Classical music seems to have a therapeutic effect on our creative sphere.
Remember writing is an art not a science.
