Currently writing a fanfic, but I can't think of what I should write for my next chapter.

Is there a way for me to get out of this rut?

Dont put pressure on yourself, take a break and read some books, you might feel more refreshed and get ideas again.

Draw.

I never get this writer's block sensation that so many people describe.

Whenever I'm writing a paper I'll just get up and walk around my room to take a break or I'll listen to music. Eventually my mind will think of a word and it fits into my paper.

Relax, lie back with your eyes closed, and let your mind drift. Eventually it will come to the story and you'll get some ideas. At least you will if you're brain is similar to mine : )

Take a break. Things will come to you when you're not thinking about it. Let you subconcious take the helm.

Writers block is usually caused by over-thinking. If you take your mind away from writting for a bit, you should be all good.

This can happen to anyone, even great authors.

If you work on your story for too long, you can start to lose whats on your current mind on what to write next, refreshing you mind will hed greatly for the next part.

I suggest to take a break from writting, get a snack, watch some tv, play some viedo game for 30 minutes, then return to you paper

I don't like fanfics. :? But anyway, try playing games or sleeping. Maybe even work on something else or on a different chapter. That's what helps me.

The quickest way through writer's block is to force your self to write something down, even if it sucks and you are going to change it later. The most important part of writing is re-writing, so give yourself something to re-write. It's easier to change something around and make it better, than it is to begin from a blank page.
