Getting Unstuck
Need a push? Try a writing prompt. There are some posts about prompts on this site, and more on my Tumblr page.
The point of prompts is to get you out of your brain and on paper. Don’t worry too much about whether this bit of writing is necessary to your main story; it’s to get you moving along the page instead of through the neurons.
I scheduled this to post on November 7 because Doyce Testerman says Day 7 is one of the days we’re likely to bail out of a new habit.
Don’t quit. Write something down, right now.
Now leave for a couple of hours. Take a bath, take a nap, play with a kid.
Then write some more things down. Tomorrow’s going to be easier.

Awesome idea.
Very nice inspiration. And interestingly, I’m precisely one day behind, with day 7 being yesterday. I better go write.
