Knowing where you want the story to go and getting there are easier said than done. I’m certainly not immune to this curse. There are lots of times that my fingers remain poised on the keys but my mind refuses to tell them what to type.

A few little tricks that help me when my brain goes fuzzy”¦

Music! – I find a song that fits the scene I’m writing, and plug the iPod in and write through the fog. *Tip* don’t listen to the words–LOL!–just the music.

Talk out the scene! – Tell the story to someone you trust. My sister is awesome! She lets me call her and talk out where I’m stuck. She’s got great suggestions too!

Walk away! – Yep, sometimes the best solution for me is to just walk away for a bit and come back with a fresh mind.

What about you? Do you have tricks to avoid the scary monster known as Writer’s Block?
