Sometimes our hands seem like they just can\u2019t make anything sound right, at which point writing on another instrument can unclog the artistic pipes.<\/p>\n<p>If you mainly write on guitar, try a keyboard, whether physical or virtual. Similarly, any songwriter can experiment with drum programming in the DAW of their choice. With the quality of virtual instruments, it\u2019s never been a better time to try out different sounds we wouldn\u2019t normally use.<\/p>\n<h1>3. Experiment with Alternative Genres<\/h1>\n<p>This is a broader approach to beating writer\u2019s block in the same vein as \u201cpicking up a different instrument.\u201d If you\u2019ve exhausted your creative resources in your main genre, step outside the box and try your hand at something else.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it doesn\u2019t matter what you decide to do. The idea is to simply get the juices flowing again to come back to the initial place you got stuck, and get past it. If country music is completely off the radar, give it a go. If you\u2019re a diehard hip hop producer, see if you can come up with some rock riffs.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows\u2013you might come up with something you can adapt to your main genre.<\/p>\n<h1>4. Listen to Work that Inspires You<\/h1>\n<p>Nothing beats writer&#8217;s block faster than regaining that creative spark. In most cases, listening to music you enjoy is a great way to reignite the flame! When you hear something you really love, it&#8217;s easy to begin imagining how you&#8217;d do your own interpretation of the idea. Don&#8217;t worry about being &#8220;unoriginal,&#8221; so long as you aren&#8217;t blatantly stealing melodies or otherwise! All art is derivative, and allowing your inspirations to flow through you is what lends itself to your individual voice.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40317 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-633x422.jpg 633w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_3-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h1>5. Clear Your Mind with a Break<\/h1>\n<p>As much as we might hate to admit it, sometimes the most obvious tactics are the ones we forget the most. Writing a song can be an exhausting process, both mentally and physically. Long periods of sitting in front of the computer are taxing, especially if things aren\u2019t going as well as we\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t want to step away from the project when you\u2019re in the zone and things are effortlessly coming together; but when writer\u2019s block hits, stepping away for a while to recharge is sometimes exactly what we need.<\/p>\n<h1>6. Don&#8217;t Always Be a Perfectionist!<\/h1>\n<p>As artists, of course we want to share the best possible version of our music with people. However, nothing can be a catalyst for writer\u2019s block quite as much as perfectionism.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly in the early stages of songwriting, most of the time\u00a0<em>just getting it out<\/em> is the best strategy. If you\u2019re frequently stopping to nitpick or perfect a chord passage, melodic line, or lyric, you\u2019re actively hindering the creative process and increasing the odds you\u2019ll hit a wall.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good to let the initial inspiration flow and sort out the details later!<\/p>\n<h1>7. Find Inspiration in Other Mediums<\/h1>\n<p>As musicians, we have a tendency to find all or most of our inspiration in other music. This isn&#8217;t a bad thing, of course, until writer&#8217;s block strikes. When everything we hear &#8220;starts to sound the same,&#8221; stepping away from music and consuming other forms of art can be helpful. Watch a movie, play a video game, or check out other forms of visual art. Visit a museum! That way you&#8217;ll be taking a break\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>finding the spark in a different artform. You get the idea&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40320 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5.jpg 960w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-256x170.jpg 256w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-226x150.jpg 226w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-770x512.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-160x106.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-640x425.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-912x606.jpg 912w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-512x340.jpg 512w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_5-385x256.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h1>8. Work in a New Environment Whenever Possible<\/h1>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for a personal anecdote! Working in a studio has opened my eyes to the importance of finding the spark in fresh environments. A successful bedroom producer, who recently finished overhauling his home studio, tore the whole thing down to rent a room in our studio. As he put it, working from home got a bit stale, and it was worth it for him to setup from scratch somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever practical, removing yourself from your routine can work wonders for creativity.<\/p>\n<h1>9. Set Clearly Delineated Goals for Your Session<\/h1>\n<p>When the &#8220;flow&#8221; just isn&#8217;t there, going in with a gameplan and a clear end goal can be incredibly beneficial. For instance, you may start a session with the goal of writing a chord progression&#8211;just a chord progression. The following session you may begin to add melody, and so on. Rather than floundering or noodling around trying to come up with\u00a0<em>anything<\/em>, sticking to a pre-formed plan might just help you come up with\u00a0<em>something<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h1>10. When All Else Fails, Put in the Hours<\/h1>\n<p>Sit down to write music as often as possible. Don\u2019t wait for inspiration to strike; instead, be proactive and start the process on your own. You don\u2019t have to write a masterpiece every time you work, so don\u2019t let fear and perfectionism hold you back.<\/p>\n<p>Songwriting is like a muscle that develops over time with consistent usage. You wouldn\u2019t want it to atrophy; make a schedule that suits you, and hold yourself accountable for working on music as often as you can manage.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll learn more about yourself and your process the more often you practice the craft, which can prevent future cases of writer\u2019s block. If your skills are sharp, you\u2019ll likely be more prepared to combat it in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40316 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2.jpg\" alt=\"How to Overcome Writer's Block: 10 Tips and Tricks Used by Pros_2\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-633x422.jpg 633w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-Overcome-Writers-Block-10-Tips-and-Tricks-Used-by-Pros_2-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s something that every creative has experienced and will likely face again: the feeling of being totally\u00a0out of ideas.
