"My mama told me there'd be days like this."

One of the biggest struggles that a writer can deal with is a block.  This afternoon I opened up my laptop to work on my book and nothing.  I couldn't find the words to put my ideas into action.  It was like a snowstorm up there all white and fuzzy.

So, you're probably thinking ,"How do you get yourself out of this predicament?"

Everyone has their own remedy for a block.  Some go running to clear their mind, but even though I love the idea of running (feet on pavement and running from your problems) the asthma gets in the way sometimes.  Others might watch TV or listen to music to escape.   I am apart of the technology generation, but these things do not aide in recovering from a block.  The only solution that I have found to be successful is to brainstorm in my journal.  I know, writing to fix a writing problem?  You're probably thinking she's a nut genius. It helps.  I spill all of my ideas down on paper.  Incomplete sentences, single words, and pictures if necessary seem to get me focused again.  Away I go to my journal.  I hope the doctor is in.
