Writer's Block--It's a lot like a channeler's block. You either get it beaten out of you--or you figure out how to get rid of it the hard way. Well, here's some easy ways to get out of Writer's Block.

1. Free write- sometimes it will loosen up the knots in your brain.
2. Take a break and read something that will inspire you.
3. Listen to music that suits the plot mood. It might shake out some ideas.
4. Put yourself in an environment that calms you. It might be outside, or it might be inside. Feeling secure will help.
5. No matter how unconfident you feel, write. Even if you think it's lousy, it will force the idea's onto paper.
6. Organize your story. Make a plot chart, character list, and a map and glossary. Organizing could get your head cleared.

If none of these work, just go get some caffeine or some sleep. You need a break!
Remember, writer's block is a sense of mentality. You just have to break it. Maybe, the block will prevent you from making your plot go wrong. It could be just what you need.

Fun Idea's

Here are some cool things you can use in stories! *applause*
1. Have a main character get amnesia. This could be used for comic relief, building a romantic relationship, and even for manipulation of the character from the bad guys.
2. Have a villain that impresses you and makes you hate them. Having a true variety of heroes and villains makes the story, not the plot.

More will be added with time.

Amnesia is normally frowned upon now. It's over used, and normally used badly.

I've realized that and so has Alden but sometimes when used in the used in the right way, it can make the story quite interesting.

Well, yes. So can a Mary Sue. Anything used in the right and proper way could be wonderful.
But it someone has Writer's block, then you don't really want to give them that idea.

I'm just giving constructive crits. There is no reason to get defensive; just pass the word along to your friend, then.

If it's not your idea it should be in quote tags.

And this is a very poor piece of advice.
