: Re: Help! I've got Writer's Block I really want to write, but as soon as I sit down and set pen to paper, my mind goes blank. I can't think of anything to write. Sometimes I stare at my screen

What are you trying to sit down to write? A novel? Maybe that seems large and daunting, so focus instead on a short story - not nearly as scary, not as much of a commitment, and maybe that will help loosen your creativity. If you're stuck trying to write a short story, try a poem or an essay instead. It may be that you have expectations about whatever you are trying to write and those expectations are giving you some anxiety and blocking you up. This is a bit more structured than just trying to write something/anything for ten minutes, but it's another way of of untying the knot, hopefully.
