And old trick I use sometimes is to reread an old favorite book. Something you can read quickly (because you know it so well) and that puts you in the right mindset to write.Johnny Novgorod said:Just wondering. I have to right practically an entire screenplay for tomorrow when I had the whole Summer (yes it's Summer here) to do it. I'm not asking anyone to bail me out with a magic trick but hey, this is my go-to place when I'm blocked. How do you get over writer's block?
In your case, since you're working on a screenplay, perhaps a favorite screenplay would help?
Another tip - find an alternative space. I was having problems working on my writing (prose fiction) at home, so recently I've been going out to a local hole-in-the-wall coffee house with my laptop, buying a mocha, and spending four to five hours just writing. In that case, I found it easier to begin with something small (a new short story) before moving on to something larger (a novel).
