When writer’s block strikes it is torture to someone’s goal or motivation. Well here is my cure (guide) to writer’s block.
Here are 5 cures to get back out of your writer’s block stage whether it’s blogging, script writing, video ideas, short stories, poetry, or just personal journal.
1. Create 3 mini series of simplicity (short form) as warm up.
– photos (find a title or cool name to call your series within the field you are trying to write and google search images or photos that’s related to the theme of the series and post it with your thought on the picture or a brief info on the picture) Also you can take things in your own hands and grab your digital camera, camcorder, iPhone, blackberry or so, and create a series of random photos around the house, outside, people, or so and post it with nice keywords/tags of things people maybe searching for.
– text (find a title or cool name to call your series within the field you are trying to write and do something within a 2-4 sentences on the idea or a thought. Or write about someone who is great in that field) and end the each post with a question or an idea you discovered within your research and working on the mini series.
– video (find a title or cool name to call your series within the field you are trying to write and do something 30 sec – 1 min) and have the series go to a certain number you like, for example your favorite number or numbers like 6, 8, 12, or 16.
2. Create a creativity/idea drop box/fish bowl
3. Read others blogs, or videos and take notes on the things you like (reminder, don’t get mad at their content and how great it is to yours, everyone goes through a dry spell, even drop a comment, message or email to the person to see if they can give you some tips.)
4. Create a rant or vent on pieces of paper what you are missing or your problems. Sometimes helpful to read out and see on paper what your actual problem so you can take it in and think about it and create a solution.
5. Take a break, get some sleep. Go to you favorite places, eat some of your favorite food, listen to your favorite music, or look up things that you enjoy or like that inspire you. Talk to a good friend and hold a good conversation with someone interesting. I guarantee that will inspire you on some ideas and get you in a good mood.
Try these ideas and see how well they work for you.

Do you have any cures for writer’s block and do you think these were a good list of cures?
With the theme of being myself this year to the maximum, I am really and truly down with O.P.P. Are you down with O.P.P.? O.P.P. means to me in 2011, Organization, Preparation and Presentation. Those are going to be major focus this year. I am taking it back a little to the days when I use to execute quite a few movements with some crazy techniques and measures that made me very successful to this day.
Do you have methods you use to follow back in the days to lead to success?
