Beating the block

Inspiration is all around us; however, it is often treated as a mystical and uncontrollable empowerment of the mind.

In the midst of my evening nice break, I am discovering new techniques for overcoming my writer’s block. Battling tight deadlines and exhaustion, courtesy of my mind trying to figure out what’s going to be unveiled on the next episode of GoT, the surreal concoction of emotional, cognitive and behavioral factors don’t seem to be dissipating soon.

Taking matters into my own hands (trust me, the research I did on overcoming writer’s block gave me zilch), I have decided to do the following:

Write something else: Dear readers, I am not procrastinating.

Focus on food: Food for thought?

Map the mind: Food, blogging and …?

Change the location: Shift from my ergonomic office chair to the floor.

Bounce ideas: As arbitrary as it may be, I am going to share my story ideas with my peers.

Two down, three more to go.

Wish me luck! By Priyanka Sankaranarayanan
