Creative Writing Guide #1: Museums and Docents

You'll find a guide to breaking writer's block at almost any museum you visit.

There are hosts and hostesses that act as docents, and will at least point you in the right direction, if not lead you on a tour of inspirational areas that just may heighten your writing interest.

Creative Writing Guide #2: Libraries and Librarians

Librarians will be your guide to help you research what interests you at your local library.

A variety of books, CDs, movies, and possibly even microfiche to supplement the ever-popular Internet will be available at most locations you visit.

Creative Writing Guide #3: Movies and Scriptwriters

It may sound ridiculous that anything original can come out of the movies anymore. There are some great ones, but they are few and far between compared to the feature films of the past.

Visit movie theaters and video stores. Allow script writers to be your creative writing guides to discovering what writing formats work best for them, and how you can use these same formats for breaking your writer's block.

Creative Writing Guide #4: Sports Games

Go to a game. Don't just attend baseball, basketball, hockey, or football games. Try something new.

Find a soccer game in your area. Watch a high school team play lacrosse. Seek out a rugby tournament.

Some of the best writing in movies, books, and newspapers comes from America's favorite pasttimes.

Don't discount the power of watching a sports game. The fact that you enjoy it means that you can discuss it at length, and therefore write about it with some sense of authority.

Creative Writing Guide #5: Comedians and Comedy Clubs

Comedy clubs are popular, and more and more people are repeating jokes that Dane Cook, Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, or even Jay Leno are reciting.

After all, if Saturday Night Live or MadTV weren't popular, they would be off the air. Saturday Night Live has been running in syndication since 1975, and its popularity is still sky-high.

Comedians are writers, too. So use them as your creative writing guides. They use other comedians, as well as book, TV, and movie writers to help them come up with new and sensational jokes.

They feed off of pop culture, news stories, and interesting things that happen to them or that they come across.

So, pretend that you're a comedian -- at least in the sense that you pick and choose what best works for you and write those ideas down. You'll soon find that you are breaking writer's block for good if your mind is constantly churning and ideas are constantly being written down.

It sounds hard, but breaking writer's block is an easy task. Visit some of these places as well as others. Write down what you see and hear.

Attend concerts, ask questions, listen to what is being said in line in front of you at a Starbucks. You may be surprised at what you hear.
