TIPS FOR GETTING RID OF WRITER'S BLOCK . . .

Over the years, I've developed a number of approaches to dealing with writer's block. It wouldn't be fair for me to keep them all to myself. Here is just one of my patented cures, chosen at random and illustrated by my team of in-house artists.

Cure for Writer’s Block #177 (Illustrated)

1. Drink a large glass of water while bending forward, so that you are essentially drinking upside-down (see Figure 1, left; note clown shoes, arguably too-small cranium). 

2. Hold your breath for at least 90 seconds, making certain no air passes through your nose or your mouth  (see Figure 2, right; note chilling expression of undeserved self-pity and despair). 

3. Wait at least five minutes for your normal breathing pattern to return.

4. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and get your ass back to work.

Are you writing again? If so, congratulations: your writer's block is cured! (More tips coming soon . . . )
