Top Hints for Writers Block

I have read a number of posts recently asking for advice on getting inspiration or beating writers block.So how about a top 10 tips for beating this evil disease?

  1. Read a news paper
  2. Read a book( short ones are best)
  3. Go to a pub/bar watch people and make up stories about there lives( may get you beaten up, but that in itself may be inspirational!)
  4. Talk to people Listen to their stories( can bore you to death, but may come up with goods)
  5. Do Something different ( tomorrow I will stay sober!)
  6. Have something to say.
  7. Go do something that will give you something to say.
  8. Get a gig. Once you stand in front of an audience, you'll figure out something you want to say.
  9. Fall in love. If it works, there's nothing so inspiring. If it doesn't, there's nothing so inspiring.
  10. Allow yourself to NOT write. Like the fields need to lie fallow every year, sometimes we need to not write to renew our inspiration.
