Going through writers block, how do I break out of it?

I don't really believe in "writer's block" per se (tho I've found some sections are harder than others). One either needs to force themselves (fear/motivation) or take a break (burnout). Sounds like you need a break imo. I'd take a week/two off to think, watch movies, read scripts etc. and see if you get inspired again.

Everyone's under enormous pressure to come up with a perfect concept and then to write it out to a successful conclusion.  And to do it fast!

But if you compare yourself to the 'great' writers out there, including screenwriters, consider that most of the heroes in this biz barely write a script a year.  Sometimes fewer. The same goes for directors:  How long do we have to wait for a Cameron movie?  We had to wait years for Kubrick, and on and on.  Everybody in the creative business has their 'streaks' of genius, yet we as fans look at their overall output and think 'hero'.

As suggested above, just take a break and do something completely different.  If you're in the middle of a script, and stuck, start something else - though that only happened once or twice for me.  I think it's disciplined to 'stick with it', but if you're really stuck it may be useful to try another story. 

Or polish one of your older scripts.  I polish mine every year, and with 50 that means I 'try' to polish one a week, but sometimes I lapse and have to catch up.  (I keep a detailed record of everything, so I know I'm being tardy!)  Polishing is hard to start, but I always find that once I've gotten to page two or three, and if I've made a single word change, or one wee typo, then it's all worthwhile.  Plus, when the polish is finished, it refreshes me because I realize 'Did I write this?  Wow!  Pretty good!'  And suddenly I'm a bit invigorated toward my next, yet-to-be written project.

(Incidentally, of my output, I have even written sequels to several of my own scripts; who's gonna stop me?!  Those were cool because, not only did they turn out well, as good stories, the process was jump-started because I already knew the characters, etc.)

Anyway, as for ideas for your next script, surf through WikiPedia and news topics.  I've come up with several that way, including ones that ended up incorporating rather creative combinations of different things I'd observed. 

And be sensitive to your dreams - I don't mean your goals, I mean your actual night- or day-time dreams.  Those have provided snippets of ideas for a few, and very sharp concepts for a few others, which then became full-fledged scripts. 

Which is another thing:  Few get their script ideas from beginning to end, all at once.  It's never happened to me.  They evolve, sometimes from an idea that's not so golden, at first.  But, they develop as I write them, and then I reach 'THE END' and I've never been disappointed.  In fact, the excuse I have for my sheer output is that I finish what I begin - that's my talent, whatever that means or however it happens - as opposed to being somebody who's somehow  supernaturally saturated with story ideas. 

In the end, does that mean every idea or finished script is golden?  Nope.  But I put out a solid effort for each, and not one of them is terrible, though of course some are destined for the big screen and others aren't.

Also, don't worry about broken streaks, whether when writing one story or with regard to your entire writing career.  Stories of this abound; here's mine:

I loved composition in elementary school in the 1960s, but when the class became voluntary in later grades I didn't think of continuing it.  But, I'd still pen stuff at home, as a hobby, often in the form of illustrated stories like comic books or graphic novels (I"d never heard the word by then).  In the early 80s I tried to write a novel, but after 100+ pages with a hard-to-use word processing program of the day, I got too lost.  I didn't outline anything first, so every time I sat down at the computer I had to wonder where I was, and I had 100 pages to 'remember' before I could consider what was to happen next.  That's probably why I loved outlining once I started to write screenplays, in 2008, because I was busy with a full-time job and couldn't get to it for more than an hour or so at a sitting, so that meant doing it bit-by-bit, and go back-and-forth.  I could cheat and write a bit of the ending, and then the beginning, and then the middle, and because I was writing in point form I never got too lost.  Then, when the story seemed 'all there', all I had to do was translate it into prose (in the screenplay format) and with every effort it just seemed to come out around 100+ pages.  So, I kind of lucked into a system that worked for me.

By the way, I came to write screenplays - versus prose, short stories, poetry, cookbook recipes, etc. - because of a near fluke:  I was particularly obsessed with a movie in 2008, and when I came across the production draft of the script, on-line, I simply realized 'I can do that' !

But back to the routine:  I remember when I was in a real burst of creativity, especially from 2010 to 2012.  They were a furious three years in which I actually wrote most of my current output.  At the end of one script, I felt badly if I sat around for three days off before writing the next story!  I was in pure writing mode, and was still naive enough at that stage to think that I needed to do anything else (the business and marketing side).  But I remember getting seriously stressed that I'd forget how to write!  But you don't forget.  You might get rusty, but when a good story thought or concept comes around, that will always awaken the technique you've developed for yourself. 

If you've written even one script or novel, you have already gotten far enough to form a writing technique, even if any technique can be improved.

So stop worrying about it... unless somebody's paying you to write a story by such-and-such a date, ha!  Most of us are just spec writers here, so the world is fortunate to be the beneficiary of our talents.  (But, yes, it would be nice some day if they paid us, too)

Lastly, I might suggest staying off social media; yes, even this place.  Sure, I've just written that you can get ideas from anywhere, and you might just get a great concept from FB or forums or something, but of the time I regret wasting in the past decade that I've spent contributing to social media is the most 'missing' in my life.  (I'm only doing it here as a Sunday-morning 'treat', as stupid as that sounds, because as you know I really don't contribute much here - and probably won't again for a week.)

Some days I wish I had time for writers block. Most of the time I feel fortunate that having a busy daily keeps my creative juices flowing. 

I try to write a little bit of something each day, but sometimes it just ain't there. On these 'off' days, I just forget about writing and do something else. Sure enough, my (your) muse will return after awhile, well rested and ready to go. All the best.

That's young people's thinking. Absolutely nothing wrong it. I'm just letting you know that what you're experiencing is normal. It's a good thing. I admire a strong work ethic. However, it's equally important to take care of yourself. From what you've described, to me, it doesn't sound like writer's block. It sounds like your brain is basically saying, hey, slow down, need to rest.

You're not losing time. You're gaining a valuable skill - self-discipline. You should reward yourself. There are many people where it takes them most of a lifetime to learn to recognize when to take a break. Many don['t ever take a break until they have a heart attack or a stroke. Take it easy for however long or short you want. You deserve it. Well done.

You could think of it as a period of gestation instead of a block. A lot of artists recast blocks or pauses as gestation that can be fruitful in time.

A classic and inspiring book on creativity: On Writer's Block by Victoria Nelson.

I've noticed that often after a deep dive into depression there's a surge of creativity.... something was cooking in what seemed to be a void.

Another oldie but goodie on creativity is Writing in Flow by Susan Perry, a collection of interviews with 75 writers and poets on how they approach working habits and getting into creative flow.

I'm a firm believer that writers' block only exists if you believe in it. My go-to is chunking stuff down in a methodical system. Look the Turn & Burn scene development worksheet to spark some ideas and motivation.

Best of luck.

I'm blocked too.

It's awful.
