The Best Way to Defeat a Writer’s Block

There are times when your fingers, in perfect sync with your mind, tap away gracefully on the keyboard and you have no issues in putting down your ideas on paper or in your word processor. At these times you believe you were born to write. It is really an exhilarating feeling and you feel on top of the world!

On the other hand there are those occasions when you stare blankly into empty space, perfectly mirroring the void in your head. You sit there twiddling your thumbs and you just don’t have a clue as to what to write or do.

Does the scenario sound familiar? In the event you write for income, then you need not worry! You suffer from writer’s block! Most writers have been there and gone through such a phase.

Sometimes a nice long walk will assist you to organize your ideas and provides you with an innovative perspective on things! Alternatively you can enter the kitchen and cook up something that you like to eat! Go and spend time together with your friends! The idea is to take a break and do something else you love! You will come back refreshed and feel much better!

If you are fortunate enough to have written several bestsellers, then one solution is to go on a vacation. There is nothing stopping you from taking a couple of days off and driving down to the beach or taking in some crisp and fresh mountain air. A holiday is a great idea if you want inspiration for your latest writing venture.

But a holiday may well not work for two different reasons altogether! For starters, you might not have sufficient cash saved! Two, the problem may be deeper and a vacation would be just a diversion that may in all likelihood, not open the mental block!

So, where lays the solution? Dig deeper and carry out some introspection and find what produces the mental block! You have to deal with the issues in the end and the sooner you do so, the better! If something or someone is bothering you then deal with that something or talk to that somebody and sort out the problem.

Another reason that several writers go into a lapse and are unable to write is because they wonder whether or not they are in the correct profession! Should you look at things that way then pick up an excellent book and read. Notice the author’s style and flow of ideas from the writer’s perspective.

Writing is a great profession and you ought to be convinced about that if you wish to succeed! Fighting writer’s block caused by a not enough appreciation for that profession is the most difficult thing to do. But there are occasions when you may want to light up your love affair with writing again!

Billy Collins – Litany

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/04/07/A_Selection_of_Poems_by_Billy_Collins

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins discusses stealing material from other writers, and reads his poem, “Litany.”

—–

Poet Billy Collins is a unique literary figure – a widely read contemporary poet. The former US Poet Laureate and New York State Poet has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Foundation, though his most dramatic honors come from a wide and appreciative readership. Collins’s poetry collections, including The Trouble With Poetry and Other Poems, Nine Horses, Sailing Alone Around the Room, and Picnic, Lightening, have broken records for poetry sales. His writing is marked by inventiveness beyond traditional poetry forms with ironic twists and lyrical turns of phrase that resonate powerfully. An advocate for integrating poetry into everyday life, Collins compiled the anthologies Poetry 180 and 180 More with poems for every day of a typical school year. Billy Collins has been a professor of English at Lehman College of the City University of New York since 1968 – City Arts & Lectures

Billy Collins is the author of several books of poetry and two anthologies of contemporary poetry, including The Trouble with Poetry: And Other poems; The Arts of Drowning, which was a finalist for the Lenore Marshall prize; and Questions About Angels, which won the National Poetry Series in 1990. He is also a distinguished professor of English at Lehman College (CUNY). Collins served as US Poet Laureate (2001-2003) and as New York State Poet Laureate (2004-2006). Collins’ poetry has appeared in The American Poetry Review, Harper’s, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic, among many other journals and periodicals. He has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He has won several awards and prizes.

Brett Dean McGibbon (Part 1 of 2) Behind-the-Scenes Self Publishing Books Poetry Inside

…from living in a barn, on fishing boats, in the woods and on the road to publishing and hand binding some of the most touching and controversial books in Seattle today… When everyone tells you no- DIY! Publishers told him “no”, agents said, “It’s not what the publishers want”, reporters said a story on it was “too boring” and no corporate bookstore will carry any of his work- and yet people said, “I love it, keep going!”. So, printing them with laser printers, hand leather binding them himself and then showing them at author signings at Mom & Pop cafe’s, bookstores, magazine stands and barber shops, he has sold over 13,000 copies in the past seven years in Seattle, making him the best selling poet and one of the best selling authors in Seattle, Washington. The only way he sells copies is at signings and on his website so go there now and get one that fits your budget: www.DifferentFish.com
