Ideas to Beat Writers Block and Impress Book Publishers All writers would love the ability to instantly conjure up the kind of ideas that delight book publishers. Unfortunately, coming up with a great idea can be a lot harder said than done. Writer's block can have a horrible impact on confidence, output and even on a career. If you're unable to find the spark of inspiration you need, the following five tips will help point you in the right direction. Tip One - Stop Writing, Start Reading If you're struggling for ideas, try reading some other works. You may find you pick up themes and thoughts from the books, and are inspired to start writing again. Visiting art galleries, watching films or listening to music may also have the same effect. Just make sure your work doesn't step into plagiarism. Tip Two - Become Your Favourite Author If there's a particular novel you like, it's often a good idea to try and adopt the role of author. You could expand the story, create a spin off for a particular character, or perhaps rewrite the ending. You can do this purely for practice, and it will help get the creative juices flowing. Tip Three - Go Through a Newspaper They say fact is stranger than fiction. This makes newspapers a goldmine for inspiration. Think about the people involved in the stories and imagine how they must feel. The idea for your next novel may be waiting for you. Tip Four - Use the Power of Dreams Some writers swear by this method for idea generation. It may not work for you, but it's at least worth a try. Pop a notepad and pen by your bed at night. In the morning set some alarms to go off at five-minute intervals. As soon as they sound, jot down any ideas you have and any dreams you can remember. It's important to act quickly, as otherwise the memories will fade. The mind can create some incredible ideas and situations when dozing, so don't be afraid to use them for inspiration. Tip Five - Carry a Notepad Keep a small journal in your pocket, and be sure to note down anything you see or hear of interest. Whether it's a conversation on the train, or an interesting concept you devise at work, writing it down will ensure you don't forget it. Using a Book Publishers Self publishing may be an option if you want to avoid the pressure of deadlines. Book publishers that specialise in self publishing will give you the time and freedom you need to succeed. thesis
