Learning and living with writing

Writer's Tip

Writers block (by rose):

Go on a walk. Write down the question that is bothering you (What should happen next?) at the top of a piece of paper. Then write down as many options as you can, including the stupid ones. once you've been staring at your page for a good minute without any more ideas, cross off the ones that absolutely won't work. (charlie the unicorn pops in and says pop-tart.) Then take a good long think about each of the others, and decide which way to go. You can try going more than one way if you can't decide. Sometimes, an idea will be so brilliant that you can just forget about the others. I love it when that happens.
