Chris Sykes Life has its own uncanny way of flinging inspiration around. You need to be in the right place at the right time with the right mindset and inspiration will find you. Only don’t come running to me if inspiration finds you unprepared. Inspiration can be quite a handful, at times loving and kind but at other times, between 2pm and 4pm, mean as a miser who has had no sleep for 39 hours and thinks that you owe him big time.
Chris Sykes The best thing is that you’re allowed imaginary friends, without people thinking that you’re crazy.

Chris Sykes The best way to deal with a writer's block is to go for a walk. A long walk, or a short one, it does not matter. The length of your walk will really depend on where your nearest hardware store is located. You don’t really have to walk either, a car, scooter, bus, etc. offer a much easier way of fulfilling the same task. Anyway, enter your nearest hardware store and find the largest hammer available. You can then use the hammer to smash the writer's block to pieces. If you are unable to do so yourself, or you are simply not inclined to use hammers, a friendly store assistant will more than likely leap at the chance to help you out.

There is of course a non-violent way to deal with such blocks and that is often found in a bottle, a rather large bottle containing a hammer. Okay, so it is not exactly non-violent but those blocks are awfully mean.
