I am a very creative person. I love to create things: appetizer dips, paintings, landscaping designs, people, strange desserts. But my secret passion is creating Writer's Block! It is so much fun and very easy to do. I've gotten to where I can do it in my sleep. What's really great about creating Writer's Block is that it is so versatile. There are so many ways to make it, and you can make it out of nearly anything, anytime, anyplace. I've gotten so good at it, I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to create Writer's Block, so you can get started not writing too!
Isn't Writer's Block fun? I love nothing more than finding myself in an empty house all day with ideas just busting out of my head and plenty of paper and pens lying around (not to mention my PC or phone) and not writing a blessed thing! Don't believe me? Let me show you how it's done!
100. Find something to clean. It can be anything, a shower, a counter. Doesn't matter as long as you're not writing!
99. Find something to eat. Nothing kills the creative juices like a big salty bag of chips!
98. Watch a marathon of a show you marginally like and don't normally record. This is vital because you must have at least 10 episodes you haven't seen. My favorites are Bridezillas, anything on HGTV, and What Not to Wear.
97. Read. They say to improve as a writer, read more. Not always true. Getting sucked into a great book can kill upwards of 10 hours of decent writing time. Just think: reading equals time not spent with loved ones, working, working out, or working around the house.
96. Make fun friends. They will fill up your schedule in no time. You'll have so much fun that when they ask how your book is coming, your only reply will be, "Book? What book?"
95. Preen. Detail yourself. Ladies, this could include painting your toes. Gentlemen, think Manscape.
94. Take a nap. Dreams can help you with your writing when you wake up, but a real pro will just roll over and take another nap.
93. Play with your pooch. Dogs don't care about deadlines, so go ahead, throw that squeaky toy!
92. Puzzles. Those addicting games or old-fashioned crosswords. Pick your poison.
91. Organize your closet. I don't know about you, but I can get lost in there for days!
90. Hit the gym. working out is great for your overall health, which is important when you want a long life of avoiding getting anything accomplished.
Stay tuned as the countdown continues. All this talk about Writer's Block has gotten me inspired. Happy not writing!
