Writer's Block
Alright, so recently I've had some MAJOR writer's block (as well as excessive dance and homework), and I can't figure out what to write! I look at my current stories and come up blank, and I try to write a new one put end up with a peice of crumpled up paper in the garbage can! So does anyone have any tips that will get me out of this situation?
Thanks!

Listen to music, re-read stories you love, or think about something random and unrealted. That's what I do.
As Scott Westerfeld (writer of the Uglies and Leviathon series) said, one of the best ways to get rid of writers' block is to blow something up in the story!
Read stories by great authors, do something else that is creative, take a break to go outside, go out to do something so maybe you'll get an idea for a story about something you see, learn about something you or someone else overcame in their life and make a story on that and think about what interests people in stories.
Lol I have the weirdest tip but it got me out of an EXTREME writers slump. Ke$ha music. Strange I know. Just go on youtube and click on random songs of hers then start writing.
go to bed and dream! and when you wake up write down what you have dreamed. did you know thats how twilight was created?
except stephenie meyer didnt excactly plan it out.
AH THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME WITH MY BOOK AREA 13!!!! It's driving me caraxy!! What I do is think of what my book would be like as a movie, and then just write it out like that. Soon, the ideas just start flowing!!
I agree with Heart_Broken_Girl!!!
Music is what inspires my story, so depends what theme you use in your story, choose some music to go with it, and while you're listening imagine a future scene in your story!!! =D
Good Luck!!!
um....talking animals? super powers? people on an adventure? funny story? poem?
what I do is daydream of different events that could happen within the story at different parts (either before the main story began or after wards in the future, which you can add to the story later if you choose too).
... confusing explanation is confusing
