Okay, so, I know I can write well.
Teachers have told me so. ^.^ A lot of them have even asked me to do extracurricular projects for them, like writing an essay or something for extra credit just because they enjoy reading it. I don't think they lie, not that much anyway. And I have tons of... I don't know what you call it... assurance, I guess. Like, if someone tells me to write a story about a certain thing, I know I can do it.
It's just that, lately, I haven't been able to A), get any ideas, or B), just sit down and write.
It's so annoying.
I think it's just a long-term case of writer's block....
Have any of you ever dealt with writer's block that lasted a long time? And, if so, how did you start writing again?

Yes,
After I had wrote "True art." Which was published I lost my will to write poetry even though a lot of changes I went thourgh.
My parents getting divorced, moving or losing friends. I still never got the erge to pick up a pencil and start writing about it. I started to forget who I was and I had so many things running threw my head I would basically stare at the wall for hours. Just thinking about what had happened to me what I used to be like.
Then I fell in love, all my thoughts went away I only had him in my mind. Like a clean slate. Then he broke up with me and I was so upset I started to write I wrote for hours and I found out who I was.
So dont lose hope that you will never write as much again. Writers block long term is hard. Its like trying to climb over a huge moutian.
But you'll eventaully get over it.
Good luck

Writer's block spawns from lack of anything "new". Or to me at least. The same old thing getting to you? You need inspiration is what you need!
Inspiration comes to everyone in different ways. Try music. Beautiful music. That's what gets me out of my block.
Or try ranting. Ranting about everything bad in your life. Put it all on paper. Angst is a very good creative drive.
Or, you could try to develope a concept from nothing. Think of some abstract idea nobody's ever worked with and go with it. Maybe you'll find something.

I'd been going through writer's block for the past... eh, year now. eek I recently started writing again, and it may be because I'm no longer under stress from school or people and such. Ideas stopped coming to me because I had nothing to do, really... Pretty much just a few days ago I wrote a short story and now I'm suddenly in the mood to write and write and write. xp I think it really is the lack of new things around you that gives ya writer's block.

Well, I've tried writing, but... nothing comes out.
It's like... there's no life to it, anymore.
My best piece so far was an HP fanfiction that I did for my little sister, in which all the characters in HP were frogs. She loved it.
Yuck.

I've experience writer's block more than I can count. I'm working on a big project and have finally finished the outline for it (after 5 years). But during that time I had the worst time trying to come up with the next segment of the plot. The best thing I've found to do is the just dit down, either at home ina quiet corner or else at a local coffee shop, and people watch. Sometimes you can get a really great idea by watching weird people sitting down or passing by.
another technique or mine is to sit down with a notebook or something in front of you and just starting writing down everything and anything that comes into your head. It doesn't have to be sentences or even seem to make sense at all. It could even be "Why am I doing this?" or "This isn't working..." or even "I could be spending my time a little better than doing this all day." It doesn't matter. As long as it's something.
I'm not saying these are sure-fire ways of breaking the writer's block curse. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But, it's something to do in the meantime while you try to grab hold of new ideas 3nodding
