So as I sit here staring at my book on my screen whilst eating blueberry's I have the sudden realization that I have been staring at the same page for four days. Its a writers worse nightmare...writers block....but this isn't just writers block, this is editing block. I'm to that point that I know that I need to edit and I know how to and what to put there. I'm just lazy....this is when I take a step back tell myself...you have to keep moving forward. Look at my bookshelf and tell myself, don't you want your book in other peoples hands?!
NOW WRITE!
Then I take another blueberry and pop it into my mouth....I need to focus. So now if you are stuck in this rut listen closely...1. Take a break.
2. Re-read.
3.Look at images
4. Listen to music and meditate.
5. Eat and drink.
6. Do some chores
Now this is a no no at least for me, reading someone else work or watching a movie. Because you start to sound like those writers and not yourself. But if you are in a huge slump. Try it and maybe it'll spark some ideas.
