  1. Another great blog. Your tips are awesome. I am putting together a site that is designed to help get aspiring writer’s to get their pens moving a bit…Perhaps you could stop by and spread some of your wisdom?
    Either way…keep ‘em comin’ here.
    Cheers.

  2. I just did number 10. :) Great list.

    • shadowdoubts, writing about writer’s block to get rid of it is probably the best way to get rid of writer’s block.

  3. Whirlwind:

    I truly appreciate your compliment on the story “Writer’s Block”.

  4. That’s exactly what I meant when I said describe what you see around you. You invariably end up with a good piece! Simple yet complex. Great piece!

  5. Whirlwind of emotion:

    Actually, I do have a true story to tell. Just go to the sidebar on the right under “Great Flash Fiction Stories To Tell” and scan down until you come to “Writer’s Block”. It’s a true story.

  6. That’s not necessarily a bad thing! An anecdote to recount!

  7. Whirlwind of emotions:

    When I’m stuck with writer’s block I do feel if I just describe what’s going on around me something will catch fire.

  8. Kirby:

    Right now I’m drinking lots of beer and getting lots of sleep. Oh, yes, and writing an article about writer’s block.

  9. Haha there’s more.

    Think about giving up writing. A stream of thoughts usually erupts out of fear. If not, write a blog on quitting.

    Describe what you see around you. It usually inspires one to come up with a good fiction piece.
