Read a book from another genre
Reading is a great mental stimulator, but as with all things we love, it’s easy to fall into a rut. Try reading something you’d never have touched otherwise. If you are partial to literary fiction, try a mystery or sci-fi novel. Or if it’s fiction in general you love, try picking up a non-fiction book. Pay attention not only to the story but to the problems each author must overcome. For example, how does a fantasy author bypass your normal skepticism about magic to pull you into their world? What techniques did the romance author use to engage your heart with the characters of their story? By understanding the different techniques authors use, you can apply some within the structure of work.
