Writer's Block
For those of you who can actually read and don't use some sort of text to speech program for browsing the tubes, what do you people who write do to get rid of writer's block?
Myself, I just found some neat little book at Borders that has something like 1000 random ideas for writing. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I take a boatload of amphetamines and lock myself in a room lit with a single bare bulb dangling from the ceiling, with only a desk and a typewriter atop it there to pass my time.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I disconnect for a week—don't talk to anyone, don't go online, don't pick up the phone. Read books, listen to music, try to not watch TV, play videogames or use the computer, and keep a pad and a pen about you.
My imagination really only kicks in when I'm completely isolated. Having a constant stream of information and communication tends to sap my creativity, oddly enough. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I pretty much use the Capo method. I have a cabin that's fairly remote, and I use it as a writer's retreat. I go up when all I can do is swim, fish and write. Eventually sheer boredom will force you to sit and put something down.
How ya doing, buddy? John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
