I'm blocked!

So, someone asked me today "I've been staring at a blank page all day. I'm sitting in front of my computer, ready to write, and nothing comes out. What do I do?"

I can't answer for everyone, but I can tell you what I do. I write what happened that day, I make lists of things that made me happy, made me mad. Whatever it may be, you can turn it into fiction later.

If that doesn't help, I look for anything and everything that can be used as a prompt. Maybe the water bottle on my desk or my keys in my pocket. I use pictures and quotes. Anything that will draw some inspiration.
