8. While writing did you get any writer's block? What is the Tip that you will give others who are facing writer's block?

No I don’t have any experience regarding Writer block while writing, this book but writer’s block is a common hurdle that many writers face. Be patient with yourself, try different approaches, and don’t be afraid to experiment until you find what works best for you. And I will suggest to my fellow writers who are also writing their works if they are facing that thing they can do that following things I can suggest from my side 

1. Take a Break: Sometimes, stepping away from your writing and engaging in a different activity can help clear your mind. Take a walk, listen to music, or engage in a hobby that relaxes you. This break can give you a fresh perspective and help overcome the block. 

2. Freewriting: Set aside a specific time to write without any pressure or expectation of producing polished work. Just let your thoughts flow freely onto the paper or screen. This exercise can help unlock ideas and break through the block. 

3. Change Your Environment: If you typically write in the same location, try switching things up. Go to a different space, such as a café or a park, or rearrange your writing area. A change in scenery can stimulate creativity and break the monotony. 

4. Break It Down: If you’re overwhelmed with a particular section or chapter, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. Focus on writing smaller portions or outlines, and gradually build upon them. This approach can make the task feel less daunting. 

5. Seek Inspiration: Engage in activities that inspire you and spark creativity. Read books or articles related to your topic, watch movies or documentaries, or have meaningful conversations with others. Gathering fresh perspectives and ideas can help you overcome the block. 

6. Set Realistic Goals: Set achievable writing goals for yourself, whether it’s a certain number of words per day or dedicated writing sessions. Breaking the writing process into smaller, attainable goals can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation. 

7. Seek Support: Connect with fellow writers, join writing groups or workshops, or seek feedback from trusted individuals. Sharing your challenges and experiences with others who understand can provide encouragement and fresh insights. Remember, writer’s block is a common hurdle that many writers face. 

Be patient with yourself, try different approaches, and don’t be afraid to experiment until you find what works best for you.
