Writers block? Keep writing...

Like everyone else who writes I also suffer from the dreaded "writers block". The thoughts dry up along with the ink. That vacuum of creativity then starts to fill with a whirlpool of self doubt but there is a way out of the maelstrom of inability.

Take a book, any book. Open it at a random page. Pick the start of a paragraph on that page and just copy the words on to your laptop or, if like me you stil write in longhand, write them on to a clean sheet of paper. Guaranteed that sooner or later your own thoughts will takeover from the words you are copying and the hunger to write your own words will return.
