I think if you have block it is because you are nervous, not because you don't really have anything to talk about.
Practice "connecting" ideas. I try this exercise with my students. In 2 minutes, think of all the things you can do with a paper clip. Write them down fast, and count.
Did it? Go ahead and do it now...
the first time I did this I came up with 12 things. Most people come up with 6 or 8. Some come up with just 2- hold paper and separate paper.
But you can use it to carve, to pierce, to bend into shapes, as jewelry, to reset watches, clean your nails (ugh) or even your ears (double ugh), as wire for a current, to hold a hem...
the point is to connect as many ideas as you can to whatever it is you need to think about. You can FORCE a relationship.
Try things you can see around you:
TV- uh... you can use it as an antenna
Bird- uhhhh... you can clip a message to a messenger pigeon, or you can shoot down a bird with a clip and a rubber band...
Try the same for a credit card... it's not only money... it's a straight edge, its a key to open a door, a knife, something to scrape or scoop things up... etc. etc. etc.
My final test for you. what is this: O
Did you say a letter "oh"?? :( NO! It is a pie! A nostril! A coin! A condom! The moon! (think up some more!!)
Creativity is something that can be developed. When you get your topic, relate it to your life, to your friends, to your experiences, stories you know, or to anything you can discuss.
I suggest taking a short walk, bouncing ideas with friends, or maybe even reading old papers that you have written.
I think that you should just go do something you like. While you are doing that, write everything you are thinking about. though personally i like typing. also thinking aloud, wrting gibberish, loking through a dictionary, and thinking about controversial topics. When this happens to me, i write stuff and even if i have no ideas [ which usualy happens] i just type whatever i think of, and soon more ideas start coming..i hope it helps, if you need help you can contact me..i lub english!! i lub writing essays and stuff..i write loads of short stories too.
