Listen to music, do some yoga, write whatever senseless stuff comes to mind, do some gardening, go for a short walk and I'm set to writing again. All said, writer's block is best avoided by writing everyday, I try to keep a word-count and stick to it, daily. There are times when that's a struggle, but then there are times I outdo the count too!(less)

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
