re-read some of my completed essays to get the motivation going, scribble in my diary, or do something different such as exercising or picking up the guitar :)

i try to play hahaa i'm still learning 😊

Oof, writer's block is rough. When I get it, I read a passage of an author whose prose and writing inspire me. Usually unclogs the brain straight away.

Keep writing whatever comes to mind. The best way is to keep hitting that wall with a stream of words—no matter what they are or mean—and bust it down with sheer illiterary, incomprehensible and unbridled force. I have gone back sometimes to the reservoir that burst the dam sometimes and—in sifting through it—found tiny nuggets of gold. It's rare, hard and takes practice but it can work. You could also go watch a mind numbing movie and take you mind off it for a bit. That works too.

I do that sometimes — just write whatever comes to mind. Sometimes it works, sometimes I delete the whole thing and start over

I stay off my phone for a while, go outside for a walk/run, listen to music that inspires me, do some other creative hobby (drawing, painting, embroidery, whatever ya like). Sometimes it's good to step back for a day. I find that if I give myself a break, it reminds my mind that I enjoy writing and helps lift any pressure. And, when motivation is low, remember that you can literally write anything. Whatever is on your mind, even if it's bad or doesn't make sense.
