Writer's Block

Only second post and I m facing this daunting condition all too well known to writers: Writer's Block. So I decided to give Writer's Block a blow in the face and write /about/ it.

Writer's Block is simply(!) when a writer sits down to write a piece but ideas are blocked out and the blank computer screen stares at them.

Soon after I joined Toastmasters, I encountred this situation when I had to write my first Moment of Reflection. Though it's a small speech, a good idea is nevertheless required to have a good form.

And for CC projects... !! You not only have to come up with an initial idea but also to have enough examples and facts to build your speech.

Through time, however, I developed some tricks to avoid this monster in every writer's world. Here is one of those tricks: Start writing whatever! It doesn't matter if it's about a completely bizzarre subject, or even just random words. Once you have your fingers moving, ideas will start flowing in. Before too late you will have a crystal clear idea that you will love to write about...

... and this blog post is a living proof that this trick works! ;-)
