Question:

What's a good way to cure writer's block?

I haven't written in a couple of months and I'm looking for a way to get back into a writing mindset.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It could be that you're stuck in a mental rut. Try doing some things outside of your normal routine. I find that when I immerse myself in something too deeply, the ideas start to stagnate. Taking a little time away and engaging in some other activities seems to help at times. Getting the blood going by walking for exercise generates ideas for me.

I think what the other person wrote about the practice of writing even when nothing good is coming onto the page is valuable, too.
