Whadya Do When it Ain’t Happening?

Writers and bloggers suffer from occasional “writer’s block”—unable to conceive of what to write or post.  We’re in limbo, in an uncertain state.  Nothing’s coming to mind; nothing’s happening.  <groan> 

That’s me this week re posting.  I’m experiencing a “duh” moment (okay, maybe a few).  So what do we do when we’re having a duh moment (or maybe a few)?  We get over it!  We suck it up and move on.

I’ve written on writer’s block previously, but given I’m experiencing it . . . hey, I just thought of something to post about!  Ideas that could help us progress beyond [irritating] stagnation.  

We can:

take a walk (love that, especially on such a stunning sun-shiny day)

remove all diversions (no, don't throw Kitty out, but you may want to turn down the volume)

get moving, be active (like taking that walk or going to the gym, or jumping up and down—with joy)

do something fun and distracting (take Rover to the park, eat a treat, smell the flowers)

move into another room/area/environment 

read a book or listen to music

do some journaling

get involved in something creative (like coloring, knitting, cooking, sandblasting, whatever floats your boat)

exchange emails/texts with someone, a fellow blogger or writer perhaps (to get some inspiration or motivation)

brainstorm (jot down anything and everything that comes to mind).

The list could go on, but you get the idea—step away and do something.  A break is a very good thing.
