We as writers and artists all know what it is like to have a visit from those two horrible experiences. We also have our own methods of dealing with these problems. That's why I decided to write this, for those who feel like trying something new for dealing with their particular blocks. You can help too by simply have to write down your methods and leave it for others to read.
Writer's Block:
I deal with this by being who I am. As an actor, I simply act out the scene to get all the words out of my body. I make multiple hand gestures and try to imagine myself as the characters in their scenes, and I often close my eyes to imagine myself in the area in particular.
I found this exercise to help me by giving me an idea of how the characters would be feeling through the emotions of their voice. The pondering of environment also allows me to think of clever environment gags to go along with my story at times.
Artist's block:
I usually try to just randomly scribble or look at other people's art and analyzing it along with backgrounds. When I actually go outside, I look to the environment and the positions of my body as a specific camera angle for an image shot.
This helps me many times whenever I want to try and see what I want to do next for a piece by giving me a dynamic view.
If you have anything to add to this thread, add it. No conversations, just add the advice for professional sake.
