Writer’s block. We’ve all experienced it. There you are, with big ideas swimming around in your head and you’re sitting there, in front of a blank computer screen - that stupid cursor just blinking, daring you to try and put something on paper. In a post last summer I discussed some good writing habits, but I know that certain techniques don’t work for everyone. So, here’s another suggestion - get physical. Sometimes just sitting at your desk doesn’t work. If not, then get out and do some physical exercise - take a walk, mow the lawn, lift weights, rake the leaves. The physical act of exercise allows the creative part of your brain to work on its own, sorting out all the information that’s traveling throughout your neuro galaxy. It works for me. Just last weekend I was on my roof cleaning out the gutters and had a breakthrough on a creative concept for a client’s commercial campaign. There are two important things to remember about writing - be habitual and find the technique that works best for you.
