If You Are Stuck In Your Writing, Ask A Friend
69Writer's Block? Out of a ideas?
While writing, sometimes you do have the unfortunate bumps along the way known as writer’s block but when you are writing a book in a month you can’t have the displeasure of dealing with it on your own. So what should you do in order to overcome writer’s block or the awful feeling of no ideas flowing?
Who is better to ask than your fellow friends and writers? For my story I was stumped not knowing how to make a plan or what that plan would be so I asked my fellow hubbers and they pulled me through the hard times of no ideas. They have such great ideas and the greatest part is that they were so willing to help me out with the ideas. I asked and I did receive and I am so grateful for their help. Now I am no longer stuck and back on a roll, even though it is okay to stop and take breaks it help your brain and imagination relax.
It's okay to step away to rest
If you feel like you are becoming overwhelmed, take a break, think of something else, play computer games or video games, go for a walk, play with your kids or your pets, or anything else that helps you relax. Once you have taken your break, then go back to your computer, to your story, and begin to write once again. But yes it is okay to leave your story, just remember not to completely abandon it because then it won’t get written in a month for NaNoWriMo.
Stepping away from the story to help your imagination and brian take a break is a great way to help ideas flow once again. Asking fellow writers and taking a break are two great ways to help one escape the tragedy of writer's block or the unfortunate idea shortage.
My Word Count....
As for my story, I have a word count 12,703 and have all day to work on it today. I am really getting back into writing this story for NaNoWriMo even though it does get hard at times. It is blossoming into something I hadn't thought and thanks to my friends, my fellow writers and hubbers, I have new ideas and great ideas to make the story more fun and entertaining. I also took a break and slept great last night and woke up refreshed and ready to go.
It is time to get back into the writer's chair and write all day long which I am looking forward too.
NaNoWriMo...Keep going!

A friend of mine told me to relax and breathe. She's one of the wisest people I know.

I wish you great success with your story.
Thanks for this hub. I love to write as well. I am working on a novel that I will probably self publish after I get this promotion thing down with my first two books. I pray you much success.

Hi
Even though it's not novels that I've been writing, I still get the case of writer's block sometimes. I do Arts and Crafts, read, watch tv, harass my kids and boyfriend, or go to Twitter and FB and harass my people there, as well as play games, and that's where I get most of my inspirations, and ideas from. Thanks for posting this article. Very helpful!
