How do I get rid of my writers' block?
Sometimes I'm inspired to write about dreams that I have had. I start thinking about my dream and eventually it can become a story.
Someone once suggested a simple exercise. Try sitting on the couch or in a recliner. Hold your car keys in one hand, and let yourself drift off into sleep. When you are asleep, your hand will relax, and you will drop your keys. Dropping your keys will cause you to wake up, and dreams are easiest to remember when you have woke during the middle of your dream. Make sure to have a pad and pencil handy. That way you can write down the details of your dream immediately. (You remember dreams best in the 10 seconds after you wake.)
This exercise might not work for you. If not, try other writing exercises. For example, take the first paragraph of your favorite book and start writing your own story. Just make it up as you go along, it doesn't matter if it's very good. You might want to check on the internet for other writing exercises.
If that still doesn't work, maybe you've got writer's block because you're trying to hard and need to relax. Simply, don't think about writing for a while, and don't worry about your writer's block either. Do something else you enjoy, just have fun!

That was fantastic advice! I just recently returned to the site so that I could share the experience that I've grown over the last couple years, and the first thing I wanted to share with my thank you to you! :-)
