Don't know what to write about (Inspiration tips)

If you cannot come up with anything good enough to be an interesting writing material, use your real life friends and their spirit for good games to get some ideas.

There are already-made card and board games that you can use, but a more simple trick would be to:

• Write sentences (quotes, or random names and words, names of the movies, books, or people) on the small pieces of paper that you will
• Fold 4 times.
• You can even draw on them instead of writing anything
• You should then put all of the pieces in the hat or some bowl, and make people pick one without looking.
• In turns, you should open your paper and tell a story using a drawing or a word on a paper as a topic or idea. There should be no time for thinking. It is an oral brainstorm.
• You can always add something knew to this game. Introduce more papers as a help. For example, plot twists, or a setting, or an object on an additional paper.

You can always have lots of fun and borrow an idea or two from your inspired company. Maybe even a whole story if it turns our great.

Did you know that when you're sleeping, your subconscious is thinking, learning and writing instead of your conscious mind.

A good trick to let your subcoscious do the job for you is to think about the problem before falling asleep. You might have a dream which is practically a continuation of the story you are writing, or a potential topic you are yet to start. Usually, what you dream is the perfect fit in the place you couldn't finish properly.

It is amazing how the characters can come to life in your dreams and get the mind of their own. They will tell you what they want to be and how they want you to present them in your work. You might get a perfect conclusion to your thesis' problem. You never know who is awake in there while you are deeply asleep.

Believe it or not, sometimes, just changing your writing tool is enough to put your imagination and focus to work. When you see that the lines and letters are going smoothly in your scribbles, the need to take a paper and let the stream of consciousness flow its way might come to you quite naturally.

Highly recommended smooth-writing pens are quite cheap to find gel ink pens and the classical but almost ancient fountain pens, which can be quite a challenge if you aren't used to the sense only the mastery of caligraphy can infuse you with.

If you're doomed to spend your days sitting by your PC, writing endless documents in the same manner and style, if that moment of block comes, you can simply play with your Word to break the monotony - change your font.

No matter how silly it may sound, changing and playing with the very many different fonts and writing styles you have at hand, can be quite refreshing and inspirational. You might like how the writing looks like, which will give you a push to keep up writing.

In the end, if you still have to submit the document in the standard form, simply switch it back to the regular formatting. The creative process has already been performed.

If you're a PC user, an everloving follower of the digital writing, give yourself a chance in giving the chance to the oldie way - good ol' paper. It can get exciting, and even challenging after you find yourself in confusion because you forgot how the real hand writing feels. And it can get even better...

If you're a lifelong paper user, you might try to learn something new, educate yourself how to use digital papers and what do they offer, and they do offer a lot of options. At first, it can be too big of a challenge, but grit your teeth and pull this one through. It'll certainly be a big win. Why? You'll see when you get there.

Two heads are better than one.

An idiom that never gets old. If you are having difficulties working through a problem by yourself, seek your friend's help. You can join forces and create as a team.

• Writing shoudler to shoulder,
• Over an open Skype line,
• Facebook chat,
• Open phone call, or
• Via simple text messaging.

You can get excited, fired up and what's most important - encouraged.

Peer pressure isn't necessarily negative. It can give you a mighty push to get yourself started on a topic. It might grow into a form of a competition, but will anyway keep you both working hard.

Give yourself a goal and involve other people who will fall with you if you fail. That will keep you occupied to finish your work properly.

To make it easier, here's an example:

• Aim to write 2 pages a day
• Get your friends to sponsor you for charity
• If you fail, everything fails, your friends look at you as a nontrustworthy, and you feel extremely bad
• As a result, you work harder!

Peer pressure and social pressure can be both positive and negative. But, sometimes, negative pressure can trigger more positive outcomes than is generally accepted.
