B.L. Barkey
So I actually don't experience 'the block' often, if ever. In fact, it's harder for me to write down my ideas fast enough.
If I had to self-analyze here, I would attribute it to living a balanced life. I work full-time as an engineer, workout almost 20 hours per week for triathlon, walk my dogs, read books, call my family, etc. Yes, there are days I want to do nothing but sit inside and write. But because I continue to live my life hour by hour, inspiration for new ideas surrounds me every day.
All I have to do is listen, as well as take notes, when the inspiration comes. I use Evernote, email, and old school pen-and-paper to do just this.
