So, you are doing much better than me in that regard. <br />The dreaded block disease recently infested my mind, so this is a timely subject for me to address.<br />I FINALLY fixed it by following the suggestion of a Michigan novelist. She said simply, "look to the news." Sure enough, putting aside some time to stare at the television paid off. I can't reveal my subject because it's a secret until the writing is complete. Good luck!Brenda Frasernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210642367681577259.post-72514421645888954912011-02-16T12:13:18.335-05:002011-02-16T12:13:18.335-05:00I just write something terrible until something go...I just write something terrible until something good emerges.

This has not proven effective over the long run for my health, so I have begun a new tactic of just trying to write anything. Listening to types of music I usually won't; going out and doing something other than writing also. However, what's wrong with rocking the unabomber look? I think I pull that one off pretty well...topher drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438091905425946594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210642367681577259.post-89807539240827997212011-02-16T11:14:09.037-05:002011-02-16T11:14:09.037-05:00No, luckily, I am still in decent shape..i.e. I lo...No, luckily, I am still in decent shape..i.e. I look good in my clothes. However, I have a tendency to hide my feelings behind pistachio ice cream or Shiraz. So it's time to be proactive against ye olde chin jello-jiggler.
