01 Nov 09 What Do You Do When You Are Bored of Writing

It is not uncommon for a writer to get bored of writing. Everyone gets bored at one time or another. And once you are bored, writing becomes a drag.

What do you do when writing becomes drag for you?

Do you continue to write as usual or do you do something else?

Believe it or not, despite how torturous writing become, many writers continue to write and what happens? They end up producing mediocre work. This is wrong. This pulls the motivation down. A writer should not continue when he or she is not feeling like writing.

Stop Writing! When writing seems like a drag. There are quite a few things that you can do when writing becomes drag for you, which I am listing below. These steps will not only relax your mind, but it will also infuse enthusiasm in you that will make writing once again a pleasant exercise.

Things to do when writing becomes drag

  • Take a walk in the woods.
  • Sit near a pond, lake or river and listen to the sound of bird chirping and watch the water forming shapes.
  • Listen to soulful music.
  • Watch a movie.
  • Read a book or a short story.
  • Recite a poem.
  • Dance
  • Go out and take a walk
  • See teenagers falling in love for the first time
  • Surf the internet, but do not go to the usual sites that you visit
  • Talk to an elderly person in your community and ask him about his life’s experience.
  • Visit an orphanage, talk to kids there and play with them.
  • Watch a game of sports.
  • Paint, if you like painting.
  • Observe the nature.
  • Lie on the ground and watch the empty sky. Focus on the bubble that forms in the sky (it is actually an illusion).
  • Relax
  • Above all, follow your heart

You should not limit yourself to doing these things. Do whatever you wish is good for you, apart from writing, and see how the experience enriches you.
