Writer's Block

Douglas Adams swore by Writer's block. It helped him through some difficult deadlines. They got around that by locking him in his hotel room, and telling him he could only come out once the first draft was finished. A popular method to get the brain started is to write anything: just anything! If there's a blank page in front of you, just write about the time you slew the Gargoo beast of Nephtrol-12 with a paperclip and some time of adhesive poisonous to omnocretes. That way, you 'll have two onegatrmnicon pieces of work unfinished. PS remember it's supposed to be fun. If it's not fun, then why are you doing it? PPS That applies to any artform or endeavour, IMO
