Don’t read any story, or you will mess up with your own.
Especially when the writer’s block comes.
This rule originally is not mine. I found it when I read an interview in another site.
… If I do get it though, the way I deal with it is to force myself to write something. It doesn’t matter if it comes out rubbish, what’s important is that you’ve taken the first step to getting over the block, and you might find that once you start writing again the block isn’t as bad as it was before.
I’ve also discovered that for me it’s a bad idea to read other novels while I’ve got writers block, because it fills my head with their plots and I just feel stupid and inadequate, which isn’t nice. That’s just me though; I don’t know how everyone else deals with it. Throwing things might help, you never know.
When I read it, I smacked my head. It’s SO true.
Lately I found www.fictionpress.com. And it makes my days brighten up. But also darkening my writing world. Because I have tendency to jump from one story to another. So, I think it’s true, when someone said that reading fictionpress only in your leisure time. Don’t be always.
DISCLAIMER: It’s not that I’m mastering in writing, so I make rules. These rules are only for my guidance in writing.
