We can mutually agree that there are times when we run into a proverbial brick wall when it comes to writing. Any difficulties that one may face is probably the result of fatigue or the need to have some fresh ideas inside our mind.

So how do you create a breakthrough when it comes to writing? I will explain, one should focus on why they are writing in the first place. In other words, what is the reason that you wrote the article at the beginning of your project?

I recommend that you re-evaluate your goal in writing the article or book you have chosen to write. There is nothing better than reviewing the purpose for which we are doing something.

As mentioned above, fatigue can play a role in one who runs into a brick wall when it comes to writing. With our fast-paced, daily work lifestyle, it’s easy to understand how someone can burn out. I’m going to list a few things that I do to help me overcome obstacles to writing.

1.) Get in tune with your purpose when writing, critically evaluate why you are writing in the first place.

2.) Take a deep breath and step away from your writing project, this provides a window to view your work from a different perspective.

3.) Go for a walk, there is nothing better to stimulate new ideas from a new perspective.

4.) Begin your writing project with the end in mind, what you want to achieve as a result of your article or book project.

5.) Ask your colleagues to review the work you have completed on your writing project, a new set of eyes will probably make a difference.

6.) Take a coffee break and then critically review your writing project. Again, new ideas sprout eternally if we give them a chance.

7.) Write confidently with your audience in mind, this will allow you to move forward with your writing project no matter what.

8.) Lastly, take a nap. Rest is good for the body and mind. Once you are revitalized, you will be more effective and your writing will reflect that.

Never let obstacles and barriers stop you from writing your best article or book. You have what it takes to overcome any short-term setback with your writing project. Here it is for you and your amazing writing skills, nothing can stop you now.
