If you’re a writer waiting for inspiration to strike, follow the advice of Huffington Post’s Gretchen Rubin:
Don’t.
Rubin’s 13 Tips for Actually Getting Some Writing Done are among the best I’ve seen. One I especially like is “[T]ry going for a walk and reading a really good book.” Hard to do simultaneously perhaps, and that walk stuff may be way too healthful for some, but reading a book is wonderfully therapeutic for sufferers of writer’s block. There’s something about allowing thoughts to percolate in the back of your mind while reading the well-crafted words of a good writer that actually helps you discover precisely what you want to write and how you want to express it.
Take a look at Rubin’s tips. It’s well worth the read.
