Do any of you suffer from it, what do you do to get back into your writing groove? I've suffered from it for nearly 6 years now, I have had some spurts of writing here and again, but I haven't really been able to get my mind set on writing unless I was suppose to be doing something else lol. I love writing and all but I wguess there's too much going on in my life to be able to just sit down like I use to and just plain write. So how do you keep from getting the big block? Any suggestions for me since I would looove to get back into the groove, and is there only spacific places you can write and places you absolutely can't?

Since I recently started writing again, I can say I've had a few moments of writers block, but I seem to muddle through them by revamping old material or reading up on a new subject. Sometimes, I suffer from the opposite, and I want to write about everything, and I just can't get too overwhelmed and have to stop for a day or two to collect my thoughts. Thanks for the question and have a great day!

Writers block is such a pain, I believe every writer has times when they suffer a mind blank and cannot continue to write anymore. There are several things I do such as take a break, go out into the fresh air and have a brisk walk. If I am tired I nap for a while, if I am lost for inspiration I read other articles, and read magazines and surf the internet. I find I write better in some places rather than others but it mostly depends on my mood and how tired I am.

Sometimes I get writers block but it will ussually clear in a day or two. I just try to clear my mind and not think of anything for a few days. Then after the little mental rest I can start writing again.
