    The only thing I can do to beat writer’s block is to get away from what it is I’m trying to write. Taking a walk around the office, sitting in the break room (or any other room), or reading some of my favorite blogs online let’s me take a break from the task at hand. I’ll revisit the piece again and again until I’ve taken enough breaks for my mind to unblock and let the words flow once again. Hope this helps!

    Now I’m off to my task to see if I’ve beaten the block… :)

    For advice, I recommend Jerry Mundis’s “Break Writer’s Block Forever” available on two cassettes for ~$85. Nathania and Adam, I’ll lend it to you if you like. But you have to find the tape deck on your own :-)

    I happen to have a tape deck in my car, thank you very much!

    All it takes for me is a quick internet scan of what others are saying on the subject. It seems I always find something I want to add or take objection with. This being my personality, I can tell you that my husband is a saint.

    Regards,

    Michelle
