Baby Steps to Overcome Writers Block
Georganna at Writer’s Edge just posted some suggestions on how to overcome writers block. She got them from a film I have not seen yet, but it might be good to watch it.

It also got me thinking about something I use:
Do something else.
When I am stuck in one area of my work, I leave it be and do something else.
Now there is a negative side to this, sometimes the something else is not really productive (and then I feel bad and am even more blocked).
But when there are multiple projects where I can do some useful work, it is a great way to free any block.
And another realisation I had is that the time of day is absolutely essential. I am a morning person and I get far more done in the morning than any other time of day.
I know others who are night owls. I think it is best to follow the body and work whenever it is ready to function well.
Thanks for this stimulating post Georganna.
