Hello!
So I've been having an extreme case of the writers block blues but I want to start another story. So, out of curiosity, how do you awesome people get out of a creative rut? How do you just start a story??

If I have writer's block, I tend to stop what I am doing and go for a walk. Walking can easily sort out ideas for whatever you could be writing next. Also listening to calming music such as jazz or whatnot. Or if in doubt, free-write. Whatever comes to your mind, write it down. It can makes things seem easier when it comes to writing or change your environment. From being inside too long, to being outside can work wonders on your mind.

Remember you can start with anything.
You'll find inspiration in your natural routine. Don't try and force yourself to write (I know how much I hate that).
But whatever works for you...
You cannot train yourself to notice,
To feel pain, and swallow fear

Nothing is created in a vacuum. If I'm struggling with writer's block I read a book or watch a good movie.
