Help I've had writers block ever since I ended my book Love Is Only the Beginning. I love writing but can't think of anything to write about. Please help!!
If you do, I'll give you a hug!

Just relax. Don't think about it. Read for a while and maybe it will come to you. The most important thing to do is don't worry. We all have these dry spells every once in a while.
Please, sit down before you fall down.

Take some examples from different books of the same category you writing of. I don't mean copy it or anything but get some idea, inspiration, off from it.
juste essayer
La fin d'ordinaire, et vous ne verriez pas ce que vient.
Just write. Writer's block is the worst thing, but just sitting down with a pen and paper will kill it soon enough. Just start with any random sentence, even if completely off-topic to your novel, and go from there. Keep writing and don't stop and eventually you'll get back into the flow.
Works for me, anyway!
Thanx guys! Lately I've been working on different ideas I have been trying to see if I can actually get one started. I have like 5 stories that I'm starting...trying to get rid of this disease. LOL!!

*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*
write down ideas. any ideas. even if they make NO sense.

Just pick a random sentence (or word) and write. I actually have writer's block right now, so I shouldn't talk, but I did this a few months ago. I wrote down "Sit." From there, I got a four page story.
Well, seeing as she wrote this almost two years ago, and she's still writing, she probably got through writer's block alive. ^_^

You don't even need to write anything about the story. Just write everyday, and write it differently everyday. Your mind will get you the ending or whatever when it's ready, and don't try to push it unless you are a procrastinator like me.
Even if you get the idea at 2 in the morning.

I usually don't push it and leave the story alone for a while. Someone once told me writer's block lead to good ideas once they're over.
