There are many methods and ideas available but the writer who has children may find they have an advantage to beating it with their children's help. Children have unlimited imaginations. Because of this, a writer can glean much information from them and learn ways to get past that block. Following is a list of ways to allow interaction with your children to help break writer's block. By simply offering them one word and allowing them to take it freely from there while you take notes, you may find yourself clustering the words into a creative tale.
Children have the greatest dreams.
Too often, parents forget to ask what kind of dreams they have had. By asking them daily about the previous night's dreams, you will find several story ideas and plenty of details that will fit into various works of yours. Most recently, I was able to come up with a story-line from this activity and am currently marketing it. Remember what it's like to be a child and play the pretend games they play. Think of your own childhood when you could run around without a care in the world.
