12 STEPS TO UNBLOCK WRITER'S BLOCK
1. The best way to defeat writer’s block is to outwit it.Pretend you are simpatico with it.Embrace it.However counter intuitive this may seem, this strategy actually works.2. A relaxing distraction from writing is often welcome.After all, writing is W-O-R-K.It’s not – as some may wish you to believe - a leisurely walk on the beach or an entertaining game of “Words With Friends.”It’s not spinal cord surgery or bomb squad technology, either... but it can be H-A-R-D.3. Admit you have a blockage problem.4. Celebrate your ingenious attempts at procrastination.They are evidence of your cleverness and indomitable creative spirit.5. Have your cat (if you don’t have one, for heaven’s sake, go wrangle yourself a few) lap dance on your keyboard for catnip and/or fish treats. This will provide you with an hour or so of mindless amusement, and possibly a viral video on YouTube.6. Rev up the volume on your local AM talk radio station.This will give you a migraine the size of a sinkhole.7. Voila. You now have a sterling excuse to go take a nice long nap.As you snooze, your brain will invariably produce delta waves and a cartful of seriously fascinating dreams.8. When you awaken – around dinnertime – jot that crazy stuff down. Voila. You’ve got a novella, or at least a free eBook for your blog.9. To summon the Muse, I often try something sweet.It’s imperative that you keep a generous supply of quality chocolate handy.10. When your imagination needs a seductive kick in the pants, take a romantic stroll to the kitchen and indulge to your heart’s content.A chocolate covered cherry can motivate like nobody’s business.11. Above all, lighten up. Maintaining an irreverent attitude will surely make writer’s block a laughingstock.12. Lastly, surrender yourself to the higher power in your life... Google.
