QUESTION:

I'm an aspiring writer and I enjoy what I do the only problem I have however is writers block. I may start out enthusiastic
about what I want to write and along the line, after
about a thousand words, I don't feel like looking at it
any more. It just feels old and boring and then I stop
writing. I try thinking up new ideas but I've just lost
the fire."

HOW TO APPROACH WRITERS BLOCK I

New ideas are exciting. When that newness is gone,
the ideas lose some of their glamour.
The bright, shiny surface wears off, and it's easier to
see the imperfections underneath. That's just what
happens to ideas over time.
So, as a writer, how do you stay inspired long enough
to finish something like a screenplay or a novel?
The most important thing to remember is that *you
don't have to stay inspired*. It's not necessary to feel
inspired all the time. You can write anyway.
If you have a job, you probably don't always feel
inspired to go to work, but you do it anyway. If you
are raising children, you probably don't always feel
inspired in your parenting, but you do it anyway.
You do it because you've made a commitment. You
do it because the rewards are worth it.
Inspiration is wonderful. Inspiration is fun.
Inspiration makes writing easier. There are
techniques you can learn to help keep that fire
burning.
But you don't need the fire. Knowing that is
liberating. It puts you in control.
Do you want to finish that novel? Then you'll sit down
every day and work on it until it's finished.
Some days, you may feel inspired. Other days, you
may not. But you keep working anyway.
If you keep working, the inspiration tends to come
back. You nurture what's left of the fire, that tiny
flickering flame, and one day, it blazes back up.
But you don't need it. With or without it, you're going
to finish what you've started.
And what you'll have at the end of this process is a
poem or a story, a screenplay or a novel!
That's a reward that's well worth the effort.
To be continued

HOW TO APPROACH WRITERS BLOCK

So, some advice:
- Decide when you're ready to commit to a particular
writing project. Then keep your commitment. On
days when you're not inspired, treat your writing as a
job.
- If ideas for new projects come up while you're in
the middle of a manuscript, make a note of the ideas
in a separate notebook so that you can come back to
them later.
- For some (not all) writers, advance planning can
help prevent a project from losing steam in the
middle. If you're working with an outline or detailed
notes, then even when you don't feel inspired, you'll
always know what you can write next.
- Keep in mind the reward waiting for you at the end
of the process.
"Success is a finished book, a stack of pages each of
which is filled with words.

Question:

I understand that social media plays an important role in everything these days, how exactly can my career in writing benefit from social media?

Yetunde w

Yetunde, social media is a wonderful device to promote your career apart from its convenience and significance in modern life style it also has a few tweaks that you can pick up from them take Twitter for instance,
Twitter is a social media outlet that allows its users to send and read short messages up to 140
characters long. It’s perfect for the world we live
in. Quick, easy, and simple for our constant
moving lives.
There are a lot of reasons Twitter became so
huge. Twitter is most known for its character
count. On Twitter, you’re limited to just 140
characters

How can Twitter Help you
Become a Better Writer

That seems like a writer’s nightmare at first, it was. When you first start using Twitter, you
feel limited and unable to express all that you
wanted to. You have to adapt your writing style, and it
actually changes your writing life.
Here are a few ways Twitter helps better your
writing.
1.Twitter will Teach you To Be
Precise
With only 140 characters, you have to learn to be
precise. This can be really hard . As a writer,
You may think that you need to use as many
words as you can to describe something, but
twitter, teaches
You that it’s not about the number of words, but
how you use them.
Always cut words that are not essential to your
story or overall message.
Twitter taught me that sometimes the most
powerful messages can be the shortest.
2. Twitter Expands your
Vocabulary
With such a limited character count, you have to find
words that are more descriptive and words that
incorporate even more meaning.
If you’re like me, you’ll like the challenge of
finding the perfect word. I’m not saying you need
the longest, most eloquent words, but you’ll want
to use words that really count. Twitter gives you
the push to use words that hold more meaning.

3. Twitter Makes Your Writing
More Powerful
There’s nothing like the perfect string of words
that leave your readers with their mouths wide
and minds blown. The ability to communicate a
deep or powerful thought in just 140 characters
takes practice.
Twitter will help you create some powerful
sentences. I got great at writing powerful, one-
liners.
Long stories with thousands of words are great,
but a story that leaves the reader speechless with
only 140 characters? That’s worth trying.
Twitter changed my writing life and I think it can
change yours too.
