I’ve been carrying this infographic for ages. I figured it was time to share with my fellow creatives. I know, I know; another list.
But truthfully, I have employed almost all of these tactics at one point or another in my writing life, and they’ve helped. This graphic is pretty though, so that’s why I posted it!

- Carry a notebook everywhere
- Try free writing
- Get away from the computer
- Quit beating yourself up
- Take breaks
- Sing in the shower

- Surround yourself with creative people
- Get feedback
- Collaborate
- Don’t give up…
- Practice, practice, practice
- Allow yourself to make mistakes
- Go somewhere new
- Count your blessings
- Get lots of rest

- Break the rules
- Don’t force it
- Read a page of the dictionary

I would like to credit the original creator, but I don’t see a watermark. If anyone can sort it out, please let me know! My eyes aren’t as good as they used to be.
