Writer's block? What writer's block?

Keith at SuccessfulBlog lists techniques for breaking through "blogger's block," and they're just as useful for writers of any sort. A sample:

  • Talk a walk. Movement will get the mind working. I like to wander the bookstore. Something about being surrounded by words and books helps me focus and come up with ideas for writing.
  • Start with the title. This is a huge help to me, especially with my blog posts. I get the title first and it sets the stage for the rest of the post. I will often jot down potential titles when thinking of ideas to refer back to when I?m in the midst of writer?s block.
