What do I do with Writers block?

I eat it for breakfast. Every. Day. I do. I eat it and it is bitter and I hate the taste of it. When I get writers block, which seems to happen to everyone, eventually, it is just a cue to me. This is my cue that I don’t like where my story is going, don’t like some element and need to step back and take a look at the big plot picture.

I usually surf the internet when I get writers block. You will find me on Google Wave, Twitter, YouTube (the bestest) and playing Facebook apps until the wee hours of the morning. Why do I do this? Distraction. I usually set aside time where I sit at my computer and stare at a blank, blinking cursor but really…how long can you do that? And what will you produce? I tend to produce crap when I am unhappy.

If I am on a deadline, it is different. Why? Because the adrenaline of needing to have something together brings the genius out in me and I love it. “Crunch Time” just thrills me. Can I do that constantly? I am sure I could for a while but not for more than a few months at a time. Everyone crashes and burns eventually if on 24-7 ‘ALERT!’ mode.

So that is what I do with Writers block. Everyday I wake up and I look it right in the eyes and say ‘Make me toast, or I will EAT you WHOLE!’ But mostly I wander the web, watch silly videos like the NumaNuma guy that always makes me giggle and puts me in a better mood. If ever you need a smile, NumaNuma is good for it.

Hope this helped someone, though I doubt it. If you are stalking me and just wanted to know one more little tidbit, hope this was what you were looking for. Generally, I am the boring, nerdy, book worm type. But if you are stalking me, I know kung-fu and have an attack monkey! Don’t make me sick the monkey on you! Seriously…don’t stalk. There are more important people in the world to stalk. Like the NumaNuma guy.

As always, Thanks for reading!

Here is your question: What do YOU do with writers block?

Seriously, what do you do? Because there is only so many times I can watch Chris Crocker walk around Walmart drunk on YouTube.
