Writing Instagram Accounts To Help With Writer’s Block

You might remember a while ago I wrote a bit about 15 amazing Instagrams for writers. In this post, I’m sharing an updated version of the best Instagram accounts for writers to follow. Writing Instagram accounts are some of my favourite on the platform. It can be a bit of a mixed bag on social media when it comes to writing inspiration. Instagram’s actually one place that’s full of ideas and prompts that can help with writer’s block.

When it comes to interest-based social scrolling, Instagram has always been a strong competitor. Writing Instagrams are much more helpful at times than you’d think. The other great thing about using Instagram as a tool for writing is that you can connect with other writers through it.

Writing can be quite isolating by nature, so it’s a great way to expand your social reach and build working relationships with others.

In this post, I’m going to be taking a quick look at some of my favourite writing Instagram accounts. Hopefully, they’ll give you a few fresh perspectives that’ll encourage you to write more. I know I can always make use of a bit of writing motivation!

Update: I’ve had to convert all these lovely visual Instagram posts into links because WordPress and Instagram don’t like each other anymore. Shame. Anyhow, although it doesn’t look that pretty these days, you can just click the links to check out the recommendations.
