I agree with Roy Blount about writers' block being the fear of writing something awful. Sometimes you just have to write that awful piece so you can get it out of your system and move on. I often post these articles so I can get feedback and find out if they were really that awful after all. .-= Tamahome Jenkins´s last blog ..Links of Interest Vol. II =-.

Jens, that's probably one of the best methods to get rid of writer's block! .-= Mikkel Juhl´s last blog ..How to Be a Good Teacher =-.

My number one rule when it comes to avoiding writer's block is to always put any words on paper or in WriteRoom (the software I'm using) no matter how bad the words are. I give myself permission to write poorly. I write anything, and then rewrite. .-= Jens P. Berget´s last blog ..How to setup and install google analytics in 5 minutes =-.

I think that we can actually fight writer’s block quickly and easily… instead of avoiding it. That’s like saying we need to avoid problems, instead of solving them and coming up with the best solutions.

Here’s what top copywriters do: when writer’s block hits them, they’re either using a swipe file to get inspiration, or do something else [non-related to their writing project] and their sub-conscious will soon start feeding them new ideas they could be using in their writing.

I prefer the second method.

Which one do you?

Nice thought for the post

I’ve faced this problem as well.. And I think the reason for a “block” is usually your mood. If it’s bad, then there’s no way you’ll write anything good. The number 2 reason could be some quarrel.. That’s why you should track your relationships.. and try to keep the normal.

My cure is having sex (yes!) and watching some comedy:))

A great topic, especially for those like me coming off holidays. I find that I have a heap of ideas at the moment, but know in a couple of weeks I will have writers block. So I trying to jot down as many post ideas -while I have them, so that I will have ample to spare when I hit writers block. .-= Tom´s last blog ..Email Myth 1: List Building Seems Hard =-.
