I think writer's block is a bit of a myth! As long as you're human you're having thoughts and opinions and conversations and experiences every day, so the point is not having nothing to say, it's really knowing what you specifically want to focus on. What I do experience sometimes is that my thoughts are a bit quiet or in a muddle and not flowing through my pen as it were, when that's the case I tend to leave the laptop for a day and have a talk to a really good friend, or failing that, talk whatever's on my heart into a voice recorder, that really loosens up all the ideas and current feelings!

Any time you get ideas, vivid memories or strong feelings record them. I find they come to me at random moments of the day, rather than if I specifically plan to sit down and write at say 4pm!
