It's been two (2) weeks and three (3) days and I haven't written a single word for the quarterly newsletter articles I'm supposed to finish and submit within this week.. I cannot concentrate and my mind is somewhere else. Can you give me some tips on how to overcome this feeling and state of mind... I would really appreciate it..

I don't know about you, but I hate to write in silence. If I'm typing myself, I always play the TV or radio as it distracts me from becoming too focused - which in my case is bad for writing. Also try writing prompts. Sorry to say but maybe your muse is just absent for a while. This happens to me sometimes, always when I'm on deadlines. To cure that kind of thing, I usually come here and post until the muse comes back. I find MyLot really stimulating for that sort of thing. This is the best advice I can offer you, good luck!

I know the feeling too well. I recently was in such a state of "brain freeze". Here's how I overcame it. Read my article on Step-by-Step Guide to Overcome Mental Block to know the secret. http://www.writinghood.com/Writing/Step-by-step-Guide-to-Overcome-Mental-Block.111124
