My late friend Dan had a cure for writer's block. He told me to go to the local yuppie sports bar, a sbrightly neon lit as you can find, with as many screens as possible. look around you. Really look. And then say, "yeah, my life sucks, and I cannot find a single thing of inspiration right now... but. At least I'm not THAT guy over there. Or THAT one. etc."

Repeat as necessary, he told me. I think this technique may work in several different settings besides yuppie sports bars.

sounds like a plan

Dan was no fool. God, how I miss him, still.

Interesting exercise. I'll have to try that someday.

A mental enema will take care of that blockage and get rid of any crap!
Or, to paraphrase Finding Nemo's Dori - just keep writing, just keep writing... ;)

What helps me to break out of writer's block is to do some stream of conscious writing. Write for a bit in a journal or on a piece of paper, look over it after you finish, and somewhere in the jumbled up writing, you might find something worthy of writing about. Good luck getting out of the block!

Simply put, writer's block sucks. But the good ones get around it, and I'm sure you're one of em. Keep writing and something good will find its way out eventually

[Baby Ricochet]

Oh eventually. Thank you Will
