Can using IT help with writer's block?




      The above is a full on representation of how some people suffer from the most common threat to every writer, one that looms in the shadows to attack all fans of good writing, and one that had brought many a great man to his knees-Writer's Block.

      Yes, that horrible disease that causes one to sleep when he is supposed to be writing that epic or journal entry for his freelance job. That horrible menance that prevents the latest chapter of your favorite story from coming out and making you read some low rate story instead.

     One that... has really only affected me ONCE in my entire life (due to the fact that I hate Haikus and writing 40 poems in 2 weeks is a monster of a task for even a smart 13 year old student). Yes, I am lucky to have ideas flowing into my head at a rate of one per hour. I am also a very creative person and have a fortunate fun life. However, this does not mean I do not understand where you as a writer have problems when that threat comes to your head.

So, can IT fix that? Yes it can, believe it or not.  You just need to combine your own sensbilities with the computer. For instance, you can go and find a few self hynosis videos. "But what if I can't be hypnotised?" The try to enjoy the soothing video and voice. Maybe find a bad movie on porpuse and talk out why it is bad and have a blast riffing it to shreds. OR you can find an old cartoon that you loved and want to see again. The internet is vast and you have plenty of time on your hands.
