No matter what form of writing you do, it is common to face what we fear most—writer’s block. We’ve all been there a time or two, but when it comes, it can put a wrench in major projects.

But not anymore. Find the inspiration you need to get back into writing by following our tips below. And who knows? With our help, you may be able to write the next best hit. 

Dig Deep Into Your Past

We all have moments in our lives where we feel deep emotions. Whether it’s sadness, happiness, or love, these experiences are a rich resource to draw inspiration.

So sit down, and close your eyes. From there, try grasping a memory that felt pivotal in your life. A great place to start is a break-up, the feeling of falling in love, or a moment in which you grieved. This process will give you the tools to write a song that is healing for you and others.

But if memory lane is too painful to go down, we recommend listening to stories from different people. That way, you can find solid material without diving into your past.

Clean Your Space

If you’re typically in your room or office, it’s a matter of time before it becomes unorganized. And if the days continue to keep you busy, it’s hard to find a moment to straighten the space. But when it comes to writing music, it is nearly impossible to do it in a place that is a mess. So grab your cleaning supplies and clean out your writing area. By the time you’re done, you’ll feel better, but you’ll also likely write better.

Create A Schedule And Set A Timer

We aren’t pointing fingers, but sometimes it isn’t because you don’t have inspiration—it’s because you aren’t writing.

Break this cycle, and create a schedule that you will follow. Our best advice is to start with a time of day that works for you and set a timer for 20 minutes. Once the timers go off, you can set down your pen and paper and return to your day. 

Write A Story

When you write music, you are a writer. But don’t stick with just one form of ths art. Expand your skills and create a short story on paper. Choose a theme that will best align with what you’re feeling at that moment, and if you enjoy the final product, convert  it into a song.

Write In A Different Place

Writing in the same space is a big no-no. For example, imagine eating at home every day for your whole life. The experience (and the food) would turn bland. The same outcome will occur with your music. Don’t keep yourself cooped up in your room or office. Instead, head over to your backyard or the park, and bring your tools. The different scenery will keep your mind fresh and your music. Plus, you might even impress nearby strangers.

Collaborate With Others

There is nothing better than doing what you love with the people you love. And if you have close friends that enjoy music as much as you do, what better way of giving each other feedback on your work than playing music together? Collaborating on a song will provide you with a different approach to writing songs and ultimately make you a better songwriter.
