Crisis. How to get inspiration?

Crisis... It happened to me before, but I could find a way to express my feelings eventually. And this "eventually" was usually in 1-2 months. But it's been six months since my last inspiration, I am depressed, I can't find right words to write something...
What do tu do, when tu can't think of something to write? (Help me please..)

1. Read. Read stuff tu enjoy, read stuff that is challenging for you, read something tu normally wouldn't read, read stuff your friends o fellow fans have written.

2. Critique the escritura you've read. As part of the criticism, think about how tu would have written it differently.

3. Write some non-fiction: write a movie review, poetry, instructions on how to use something, an interview with someone, o even a transcript of an overheard conversation (VERY useful for modeling dialogue).

4. Buy a newspaper, take a story at random, and turn it into fiction.

5. Write a journal. This is actually the first thing I thought of when I read your question, because every writer should keep a journal. Then, when tu have a dearth of ideas, tu can flip open your journal and explore some of the ideas you've captured there.

6. Use one o más of the escritura prompts publicado here (in the escritura club, as part of the writer's group o in the club links) o elsewhere as a jumping-off point.

7. Write stream-of-consciousness: put your pen to paper, start with a sentence, and write as fast as tu can whatever comes into your head. Fill a page that way, then stop, take a break, and come back later to review what you've written. Often you'll find some good nuggets there.

I'd just think about my life. tu could try to look back at personal experiences, o go out one día and take special notice of the little things that tu always miss. Even the little things in life brings some ideas, like when I was in a train o out watching football. I write supernatural and fantasía so I usually look at my life and take and turn memories out of it to fit in a story. Look at your friends and family for inspiration on characters because there's bound to be some interesting ones in the mix! tu don't have to, but what I sometimes do is look up into the sky and try to picture imágenes in the clouds.
Also tu could borrow inspiration from tv shows, movies,books and transform it into something new and original. Sometimes I randomly flip through the dictionary and point randomly at a word and try to invision a sentence o a plot around it.
Also I día dream a lot and take inspiration from them and my dreams.

Well, that's what I do, hope it helps in any way!

I get inspiration from life, my feelings and intreacting with people. I like to talk to people I wouldn't normal talk to. Other times I watch o read something that makes me overcome with emotion. Oh and FYI if tu just broke up with someone stay away from the amor stories! It can be bad! I mean it even if it was a friend tu stopped talking to, the whole thing may back fire.
Happy writting:)

tu know what? I'm a artist and an autor at the same time. and I amor to go and look at wonderful and mysterious artwork. and with the strangest pieces I think of little stories behind it. I write it down. What I learned from a famous author, is that, the más tu write the better tu get. So that's what I do when I have writers block with my novels. I take a break, get my mind off of it, look at pictures and things just come to me.
I don't know if that helped. But that's just me.

Think about what tu like, like a tv sjow , than think about what would be a good episode o what would happen if a new character was added, o even change an episode a bit to another way in which tu like. Think, also about people,yourself, o historic figures and think about what they lived through. In music, write about why tu think that the song was written, how it came to be, o the meaning behind it.
For misceláneo stories, think about your dreams and mix them a bit till they have a plot (I did that with my story "weird dream")or even grab the closest thing siguiente to tu and even if it's just a coca cola bottle tu can still write a story about it. I'm sure that even a coca cola bottle has a story to tell. Or, do what i did, write an articulo about trying to write an article, when tu have all those thoughts traveling through your head and not being able to decide on which one to pick.
animales are good for stories too. Even plants. Imagine what a flor could be thinking, what its wishes are. what it does when no one is looking. Maybe it has been the witness of an interesting event. It all depends on looking beyond what normal people see. writters turn the impossible into reality in an even better way than anyone because it's inside the mind of people that they will see this so they will think, feel, hear, and smell things más vividly. Inspiration will hit tu if tu just look beyond.

something i find fun is this: for a character, i think of someone in my life (you don't have to like them) and write a fictional story about them. it doesn't have to be anything special, just enough to get your brain working.
i often look at the titles of libros and tv episodes to get inspired. for example: P.D. James' The Murder Room. just write what ever image comes first to your mind.
hope this helps!
