Writers – Boost Your Creativity & Overcome Writer’s Block
By Deb Gallardo
Here’s a novel approach (no pun intended) for dealing with writer’s block from Lisa Rufle at Suite101.com, that may not be for everyone. But I’ve learned that what interests me may not be universal. And what I would never try myself might be just the solution another writer is looking for. In her article, in addition to the list below, she includes a description for each activity. The excerpt here is merely meant as an enticement and to give you an idea of what you’ll find at the suite 101 site. Be sure to read the entire article or you may be passing up a solution for writer’s block that will take you years to find on your own. Clicking and reading will take you two, maybe three, minutes. Click the link below. Then come back to comment here.
