Jasmine's Guide to Writer's Block

Type 2

This type was originally split into two, but I realized that it actually spanned a larger area. This type has to do with that feeling in your brain when you just aren't sure what to name a character or how the plot should go. This block most commonly appears in the very early stages of writing a story/book. Here are a few of the symptoms:
-freaking out because you can't even think of a stupid name for just one stupid character
-being totally clueless as to what the heck to do with the plot
-wondering what on earth should happen and when
-fretting over what to put in each chapter
-banging your head on your desk
-banging your head on the wall
-wondering why you are even a writer if you have this little imagination

This is undoubtedly one of the most frustrating forms of WB. Cures include:
-time; LOTS of it
-hot chocolate
-music (it must have a few specific lines that trigger your ideas for this song)
-alone-ness
-a trip to a graveyard (for cool names)
-lots of thinking

Hopefully these tips will help you. Now, I need to go find a song that will help me figure out what should be in the next few chapters and where and when and etc.
