In this handy guide, I\u2019ll be educating you all on how to deal with writer&#8217;s block. Regardless of whether you are writing a news article, paper, or discussion post, this guide is perfect for you. If you need help meeting a word count of, let\u2019s say, 350 words (including a headline\/title and headings), simply follow these instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Do When You\u2019re Hitting a Wall<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve just finished writing that big, sexy hook of an intro, and now you have no idea what to write next. Fear not! If you have an idea of what you want to write, but no idea how to say it, just try putting down some words conveying your idea and you don\u2019t care about grammar or anything, and also you don\u2019t care about extra words either or run-on sentences since you can always edit them out later, or you can even keep them in if you need the words. If you have no clue what to write, then you could take a quick break and come back later for a better chance of having a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control Your Writer\u2019s Block and Use It to Your Advantage<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As they say, what is a block if not something to stand on? If you can\u2019t think of a good transition from your previous sentence, you can always rewrite your previous sentence to say something completely different. Or, you can always just use a dislocated rhetorical question to seamlessly transition into your next idea. If you need help ending your paragraph or chapter, then you can try putting in something that doesn\u2019t require any afterthought, such as a meaningless exclamation. Hip hip hooray!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plagiarize<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sike! Just kidding! Don\u2019t plagiarize. If you do, definitely don\u2019t get caught. Plagiarism is bad, and an intellectual crime. Taking inspiration, however, is not bad, and not an intellectual crime. So go read things, and write similar things to what you read. That being said, thank you for reading, and hopefully using, this guide. Happy writing, and chazak, chazak, v&#8217;nitchazek!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As they say, what is a block if not something to stand on?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2089,"featured_media":7010,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-komono"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2089"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7009"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7011,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7009\/revisions\/7011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
