It may not even matter if you are satisfied with the result or not. Practice makes a master. In fact, in <strong>Naomi&nbsp;Epel<\/strong> &#8216;s book &#8216;Writers Dreaming: 26 Writers Talk About Their Dreams and the Creative Process,<strong>&nbsp;Maya Angelou<\/strong> explained the following: \u201cI guess sometimes I have a block, but I don&#8217;t like to call it that.&nbsp;That seems to give it more power than I want it to have.&nbsp;What I try to do is write.&nbsp;I can write for two weeks &#8220;three sad tigers eat wheat&#8221; you know.&nbsp;And it could be the most boring and horrible thing.&nbsp;But I do it.&nbsp;When I write, I write whatever.&nbsp;And then it&#8217;s as if the muse is convinced that I&#8217;m serious and says, \u201cOkay.&nbsp;In agreement.&nbsp;I&#8217;m going&#8221;&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SCHEDULE YOUR WRITING<\/strong>: This strategy is similar to the previous one and is based on the fact that you need to write every day.&nbsp;For that,&nbsp;<strong>Anthony Trollope<\/strong>, one of the most successful novelists of the Victorian era, devised a daily writing routine.&nbsp;<strong>He scheduled his writing for a certain period of time per day.&nbsp;<\/strong>He also set a&nbsp;<strong>daily<\/strong>&nbsp;word count goal and made sure to hit it every day.&nbsp;As he wrote&nbsp;<strong>he shut out any possible distractions<\/strong>&nbsp;and forced himself to focus only on his words.&nbsp;Get organized and set schedules!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secondary_Tips_to_Avoid_Writers_Block\"><\/span><em>Secondary Tips to Avoid Writer&#8217;s Block<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>ESTABLISH WRITING RITUALS:<\/strong>&nbsp;Many writers emphasize the importance of writing rituals, such as athletes&#8217; pregame rituals.&nbsp;<strong>Writers often go through a sequence of actions before they start writing<\/strong>.&nbsp;Even without realizing it.&nbsp;American writer <strong>Toni Morrisson <\/strong>stated in an interview: \u201cI recently spoke with a writer who was describing something she did every time she moved to her desk.&nbsp;I don&#8217;t remember exactly what her gesture was &#8211; there&#8217;s something on her desk that she touches before hitting the computer keyboard &#8211; but we started talking about little rituals that she does before she starts writing.&nbsp;At first, I thought I didn&#8217;t have a ritual, but then I remembered that I always get up and make a cup of coffee while it&#8217;s still dark &#8211; it must be dark &#8211; and then I drink the coffee and watch the light.&nbsp;And she said, &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s a ritual.&#8221;&nbsp;<strong>Rituals&nbsp;<\/strong>can be as simple as making yourself a cup of tea, playing a particular song, or organizing your desk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CLEAR YOUR MIND:<\/strong>&nbsp;If none of the above strategies work,&nbsp;do&nbsp;the opposite and&nbsp;stop&nbsp;writing.&nbsp;<strong>Put it all aside for a few days and clear your mind<\/strong>.&nbsp;British writer Hilary<strong> Mantel<\/strong>&nbsp;offers this advice: \u201cIf you get stuck, walk away from your desk.&nbsp;Walk, bathe, sleep, bake&nbsp;a&nbsp;cake, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise;&nbsp;whatever you do, don&#8217;t just stand there frowning at the problem.&nbsp;But don&#8217;t make phone calls or go to a party;&nbsp;if you do, other people&#8217;s words will enter where your missing words should be.&nbsp;Make room for these words.&nbsp;Be patient&#8221;.&nbsp;And what to do?&nbsp;This is what you could do:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_To_Do_to_Get_Over_Writers_Block\"><\/span><strong><em>Things To Do to Get Over Writer&#8217;s Block<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Listen to music (or even play a musical instrument)<\/li>\n<li>Play sports to get your blood flowing<\/li>\n<li>Read a book<\/li>\n<li>Meditate, do yoga<\/li>\n<li>Take a walk, get lost in some unknown place.<\/li>\n<li>Cycling with no destination in mind<\/li>\n<li>Change of environment, (take a trip to the sea\/forest\/mountains)<\/li>\n<li>Try a recipe you&#8217;ve wanted to cook for a long time<\/li>\n<li>Play (legos, puzzles, video games&#8230;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And to&nbsp;<strong>start typing<\/strong>, do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do some research about your book (about the setting or historical context of your novel).<\/li>\n<li>Read novels similar to what you want to write<\/li>\n<li>Generate ideas (brainstorming (is one of the best tips in artistic creation))<\/li>\n<li>play instrumental music<\/li>\n<li>Read some inspirational quotes<\/li>\n<li>Try to write horizontally!&nbsp;Many famous authors wrote in bed, Mark Twain, George Orwell, Truman Capote\u2026 So why not give it a try?<\/li>\n<li>Get yourself a standing desk and try writing standing up like Ernest Hemingway and Albert Camus did.<\/li>\n<li>Be comfortable.&nbsp;You must feel comfortable, invest in a good chair to save your back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are infinite possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Have you overcome writer&#8217;s block and your manuscript is ready?
