Overcoming Writers Block

mousetrapJust like everyone else, I have days that writing takes on a whole new challenge – overcoming writer’s block. Trying to come up with a topic or where to begin with a new topic, becomes a insurmountable on some days.

To overcome this dilemma I  take one of the following paths:

  • Walking away and trying later or tomorrow
  • Writing something down, with the hope that editing will turn it into  something of interest
  • Searching for inspiration to stimulate the synapses in my brain 

My favorite is to look for inspiration on the Internet or read something to stimulate my writing. While overcoming my latest bout of writer’s block, I found the following which led to words flowing from my head and to my fingers so I was able to complete a particularly challenging article.

Any other ideas for overcoming writer’s block?
