I do creative writing for fun, but I've had serious writer's block recently so does anybody have any advice for getting out of it?

I’m in no means a writer but when I was in college and had to write long papers I would get super stuck in the beginning and had no idea what to talk about, I would just write gibberish, literally anything that was closely related to the topic even if it didn’t make sense and after a while the right words would flow right out and I was able to write

There is an account on Instagram called niki.writes. She has a post with a bunch of prompts and some of them are good. She also doesn’t have a whole lot of posts so it should be easy to find.

I love writing often. Don’t let the idea of writers block take over. You can always write. Albeit not in way that meets your expectations. I like to go out and write about some of my observations. It could be something as simple as a bird eating from a trash can or the way the cars pass by me. It’s like taking a picture but I’m using my words instead to capture that moment in time. Doing this helps me use all the language tools and techniques that I know. As I write these observations, an idea emerges at some point. If not in that moment then later on when I read trough it again.

Also, watch movies. Listen to music. Go look at art. At least for me they really are conductors for my thoughts and emotions to be turned into words.
