Ooh. I really want to help you out, but id have to know what they're about. I haven't the slightest clue what a writers block is( i think that it's something to protect your work). What kind of suggestions are you looking for? I'll help you in the best way i can.

A writers block is when you are writing a book/short story/ song, etc and are stuck. Like you have no idea what to put next or how to get to the scene you want to happen

I've got the same problem. I need to know more about the stories you have before i can make suggestions. Don't worry. I'm not gonna steal your idea. I'm not cruel

I can, most definitely, relate to you. I'd found myself stuck in exactly the same situation a few years ago, but I lost most of those drafts due to a computer crash.

That crash made me realize something important: it's not the number of stories written that add up to what makes an author great.

After the system got re-booted, I had to start all over again from phase one. Till now, I only have three stories on which I'm putting my best efforts at completing and developing.

What you need to do is take a deep breath, get away from your writing area/device and take a little time to clear your mind.

You may go on a hiatus, if you'd like. During the writing hiatus, try to re-visit all the songs/drawings/animes (etc.) that inspired you to write those stories in the first place. Getting re-introduced to those inspirations always helps me in rekindling interest in my stories, so it might help you too. Who knows? It doesn't hurt to try.

Next up, you have to organize your stories according what you find easiest to work with. By genre? Sure. By importance? Go for it! By the number of chapters already written? Alright.

The options are endless.

After sorting them, figure out which story your heart feels like updating the most. Do you really want to add a new twist to that crime fic? Or does your conscience desire throwing in a couple more fluffy scenes for that romance tale? Or would delving into a fantasy world help ease your tension?

You may also go on writing forums and get more tips from professional authors or anyone else if none of these helped you.

Good luck! You can do it, hopefully. =3

It might help to relax and not think about the books for a day. It will help clear and refresh your mind. Then go back to your books and you might get rid of your writers block.

P.S. I would love to read your books sometime, if they get published.

well for one your trying to much , ur too focused upon it, relax .
alow the block, just find the way around. picture a wall. either go over go under go left go right. but the block is reason.
start something else, think something funny.+ but keep going even if its rabble n don't make sence.= its ur or was a block.] but its a lesson for all writers.( a for ah b for break c for was that a cat an so forth. yet a block is like time for new ``` chapter. or a deserved break, the writer as well as the readeRneeds commas exclamation marks, for being told its ok.\ go toilet break, or have stretch .} go for catch ups. u can return later. but keep ur writing going. or doodle time. lol.*
