How do آپ get out of writer's block?

I'm having major issues trying to get back onto my story. I was recently able to get a little مزید into my current chapter, but other than that I haven't written in months (since January, I believe). I'm struck سے طرف کی a case of writer's block. I'm not sure what my characters should do next, because they're kind of caught in a place where there isn't much مزید for them to do, and yet I have a bunch of plot I have in my head that needs to be written (forgetting it isn't the problem, going insane from not sharing it is the issue). A very important plot twist is coming soon, but I need to complete the part I'm at to reach that اگلے level.
How do آپ guys handle a writer's block? I normally go back and read what I've written to see if there's something I can take out of it (advice taken from a character in my پسندیدہ show- ah, bless that man xD ), but right now it's not working for me. Any suggestions?

That's so crazy آپ ask, 'cuz I was just looking up some shit online about this! I've been dealing with a bout of it lately, myself. Well, two things that help me is smoking a bit of pot, یا doing a cardio work-out! One relaxes me, and the other re-energizes me, and clears my mind. Otherwise, I'd use a recorder to get down those little snippets that come to آپ when you're not sitting down to write, so that you'll have them when آپ do.

Try and do something آپ like to get some inspiration. Maybe ترمیم the plot in a minor fashion so it wouldn't harm anything vital but at least gives your characters مزید options for them to do that they got stuck in.

آپ can even think of other ways to kind of change that part of the story where آپ ended up getting a bad case of writer's block, سے طرف کی grabbing a notepad & pencil and write down some ideas.

Don't worry. X3 Inspiration is going to hit آپ like bricks soon. Keep thinking of ways to get out of the writer's block.

I usually go back and see if I want to add یا take out things. I usually write what I can think of even if it's the end of the story already, then I go back and fill in the rest. I listen to موسیقی a lot for inspiration.

Just start writing. I always get stuck for ideas especially in exams, and I find if I write a couple of words to start off a sentence the words just flow... Try it it works! And plan out your story. What would آپ like the charecters to do next? Make a bullet point فہرست of all the things what come to your mind when آپ finish reading what آپ have already written. Hope it helps :P

I write 'Bored' over and over until I "bore" myself into writing.

I once wrote bored over 200 times. :/ Good luck.

What I did last time I got frustrated is this: I started another story. I totally hit a wall, so I saved what I had and started with new characters, if they get stuck in a situation I can apply their problems to the other plot, and go back and forth. Of course, it may work better for آپ if آپ used the same characters, I think that's the right way to do it.

My advice is the same that Rick Riordan (the writer of Percy Jackson) will give آپ which I believe is very valuable.

Firstly read other books. Try to read as much as آپ can in a variety of subjects but mostly in the subject that آپ are trying to develop. Sometimes it might as well to watch فلمیں and both in کتابیں and فلمیں try to think what the scriptwriter یا the writer did to get out of the situation, try to think from their side, the writer's side.

Secondly, (this may sound a bit stupid but it is certain that it shall work) write! Even if آپ have a writer's block and آپ think anything that آپ will write won't be good enough try to continue. آپ say آپ already know what to write next...that's good. Continue and try to get them out no matter how stupid the solution will seem to you. Slowly the wrier's block will fade and later when آپ are into the spirit again, آپ will either see that what آپ wrote is in fact pretty good, یا آپ will correct it and find a better was to continue it. In any case, don't stop writing and try to figure out the perfect way to continue, I guarantee it won't work, it will just sink آپ deeper in the writer's block.

That is what I usually do, and I hope it helps آپ as well.

well ,I don't know how I can help آپ cause I always creat the whole story in my mind then I write it on the paper but usually when I'm stuck on a story یا novel I try to do this ,it's strange but that always helped me (try to think like this:this is the white world that آپ can put what ever آپ want in it )or(imagine that you're the main character and you're in the same situation that your character in,what will آپ do and how would آپ deal with this situation )
I hope I helped آپ ,sorry but that's all I do when I have writing problems

Take a break. Calm down. I think آپ are way too stressed out about this right now. When آپ are calmed down, characterize every one of your characters. Web it out. For example, draw a large circle, write Johnny in it. Connect other lines to circles and say, for example, adventurous, talented, likes music, etc. Write a paragraph based on the perspective of every character. This may be time-consuming, but it will work.

Write through it. That's the only thing that works for me.
Normally if I'm stuck it's because I don't know what I want to happen next, so I just completely through something in there. A wild character, a character death, a dream sequence, a ridiculous action sequence, etc. Just anything. And normally it get me into writing my story and back on track again. Sometimes the scene works and I keep it in and other times it comes out ridiculous and I have to ترمیم it out. But it does get me going XD
