Help with writers block.... I think Coppertone makes a heavy duty Writers Block for withstanding the truely radiant writers; but frankly, most writers aren't that brilliant.
All kidding aside, maybe you are trying too hard?
Maybe this is weak coming from me. My blog isn't always interesting to read, but then I have maintained it since 2003 now. And at some points it's been really cool, and then sometimes like lately, I just haven't had as much to say. Have been tired and a bit burned out. What the hell--my archives are there if someone wants to see the passionate side of me. They can look at last year when I had more energy.
Take a hot shower and relax. If you have money, buy yourself a massage. Once you feel better, the ideas will come back.
Write about a book you've read, or a film you've seen, or a dream you've had.
As you write, thoughts will bubble up from the depths of your psyche as you make the connections to current events or topics about which you haven't before written.
Better still, write a piece about writer's block, and see where it goes.
Okay Sheryl, I've tried your suggestions and posted...on wooden shoes. I'm wondering if I should have stuck with the writers block. Hoo.
Brad: You can always fisk some half-brained post I create :-)
Does this mean I can "borrow" some of your posts when I'm blanking out? I would actually do that. And, if I do, I'll change the name of my blog to: The Slightly Repentent Individual.
Hi Richard! Actually, I've been wanting to focus on a few book and movie reviews (actual ones, not the usual jokey crap I try to write), so that's a good idea. I haven't actually tried blogging and wine, but I think it would work, my head usually gets nicely fuzzy on the alcohol.
Mr. Notorious, I'm glad you approve of the shorts. I've had to take them temporarily down (from the computer, not me), due to a weird glitchiness they were causing. Hopefully they'll be back up in all their Shortish Glory quickly.

Or how about writing while drinking some wine.
