Thanks. Really good idea. I find that when I’m stuck on a larger writing project, often getting out for a good, strenous hike will clear the cobwebs. Nothing like exercise and fresh air.

Great list of resources, here…

My prescription for writer’s block is a dog leash (hopefully with dog attached) and a pair of sneakers (on your feet). Nothing like getting out for a walk and a little perspective.

Thanks. I’m working hard, making little tweaks to my approach as I understand more. Baby steps, right? I’m sure I’ll see you around.

Artist’s Way — Julia Cameron. I listen to her CD’s over and over. Usually 4 minutes and I can’t wait to start writing again. It’s magic!

I hear you. I’ve handled it that way too. Often it actually helps. Especially if I get outside for a few minutes. But most of the time I just bang at the keyboard and force my way through it. There are certainly much better strategies here.

Very useful list!

Usually when I am blocked I just give up on writing for half an hour and go do something else.
