When you can't think of what to write, you can get your mind going by answering the "five W's," namely, "Who, what, where, when, and why," writes K.M. Weiland, an author of historical and speculative fiction, on Quora.

"I've filled notebooks upon notebooks with my why-ing and what if-ing, especially during the outlining stages," she writes. "This is a process that has never failed me."

By journaling and writing down your thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness mode, you get your writing muscle going rather than just sitting and fuming in frustration, Weiland says.
