It’s all true. I used to look for redeeming qualities in Mondays. Remember when Buffy was on TV Monday evenings? Well, Buffy moved to Tuesdays and now it’s not on anymore. What else ya’ got, Monday?

Captain America is my favorite, and I’m not ashamed of it.

I read somewhere that to get over a creative block, you need to do something completely non-creative or at all mentally stimulating. Take a walk in a very familiar place. Go for a drive to somewhere you know real well. Start shuffling cards or pacing while playing with a up-yo. Don’t let your higher brain functions do anything. Only use motor skills. This allows the more complex thinking to take place subconsciously. And sometimes your brain can solve problems or figure out the next thing to do better than you can. Works for me anyway.

Honey and Moonlight…two of my favorite things. When I get writer’s block all I can do is pray. “Lord open my eyes, open my heart. Lord show me what I’m missing. Show me through your eyes.” I find HIS point of view tends to be better and more beautiful than mine will ever be. (Of course, I have been struggling with writer’s block for a while too.)

Some people eat by vocation; most of us by necessity. We all have to eat. Most of us have to write. When we depend on writing to eat, a block can be a problem. When I write for other reasons, a block means, “No” or “Wait.” I’d rather hear “No” than, “You’re an idiot.”

When I hit a creative wall I go back to taking my coffee black for a while.
