Word-weary? All out of ideas? Try these top tips for giving yourself a creative reboot!

For writers, creativity is key. Having ideas is essential to the craft of writing, and the practice of writing requires creativity on all levels, from idea generation to plotting, to putting the words together in the right way, to editing and polishing the finished story, article or full-length manuscript.

But what if we get stuck in a rut, and feel as if we’re writing the same thing over and over again? What if we get so bogged down in one project that we lose the sheer joy of finding new creative inspiration? What if the creative mojo goes into hiding? It can happen to any of us.

Creativity isn’t the same thing as productivity but they’re linked, and have things in common. Just as there are ways to make yourself a more productive writer, there are ways to fine-tune your creativity and make sure it’s given the chance it deserves to fuel your writing life with new ideas and fresh inspiration.
