Places that enhance your creativity as a writer

There are many occasions when the lack of inspiration, blockages, or the dreaded "blank page syndrome" they prevent us from continuing with our writings (poetry, novel, story, etc.). It is in these moments that we have to resort to our resources (worth the redundancy) as writers already savvy and used to it, done on a "mental list", with activities and exercises to do when this happens.

Next, we are going to give you a series of tips to increase your creativity and we are also going to name you some places that enhance your creativity as a writer. Sure you already have some presets for it, but give a chance to these others that we present here ... They really are very inspiring.

How can I increase my creativity?

• Watch movies (at the theater or at home): Enjoying the seventh art is a good exercise to encourage our creativity and get ideas from the scenes we see or the general story of the film. If you have been left blank and do not know how to continue with your story, seeing a good movie as a first option can help you a lot.

• Rest and disconnect your mind: I know it is easy to say but very difficult to do. When we are focused on a writing and suddenly we have blockages, it becomes very difficult for us not to think about it and not to eat our heads to be able to look for a turn that makes us continue with our writing. But still, you should try. Resting and disconnecting from your writing will allow you to see it from another perspective in which you may have a way to continue it.

• Lee: Reading (if possible, good literature) will enhance your creativity. You learn to write not only by writing, but also by reading the best (who possibly, and among other things, have also suffered from blockages in their literary works).

• Take a walk or exercise: Exercise is not only good for the body and the proper functioning of the organism but it also relaxes and serves to mentally disconnect from everything (stress, problems, fatigue, etc.). Doing an hour of daily exercise will not only activate you more physically, but you will also be more "lucid" mentally.

• Talk to those around you and tell them about your block: Talking about it with the people around us will not only relieve us a bit internally of our blockage as writers but will also give us possible solutions on how to solve it. Sometimes, seen from the outside, everything can have a different perspective and therefore, a different solution than the one we usually consider.

What places can enhance my writing creativity?

• Train or bus stations: Have you never tried to imagine the life of those who walk around you and know absolutely nothing? Well, the train or bus stations are the perfect place for it, due to the large number of diverse people who pass through there.

• Some place full of nature in which you do not hear a single noise of people (where the singing of birds, the waves of the sea or the wind are the only perceptible sounds). How about a large park not very busy? How about a beach or lake that transmits a lot of peace and quiet?

• Coffee shops: Order a coffee or tea and enjoy your writing while listening to background noise from couples or friends who chat in a relaxed and occasional way. How about next to a large window with a nice view of the street? Perhaps this is the place where you will find that creativity and inspiration that you need.

• Libraries: What better place to rediscover the desire to write than in a place full of books written by many others? It's the perfect one! If you are a writer who needs silence to concentrate, libraries are your place in the world ... Also, if you are still blocked or blocked, there you will find countless books that can serve as inspiration after reading them or manuals for writers with endless resources to enhance your writing skills.

If still, after carrying out all the advice that we have given you or going to all the places that we have recommended, the muses still do not visit you, it is best that you let that writing rest for a season (a few months) and try to do another right from the start. After time, go back to it, and you will see how you can continue it without problems.
