Unblocking the Writer

As I've been in quite the writing slump of late, I've been searching the web for tips to get the creativity flowing again. I was reminded, as this eventually led to me just straight-up Googling writing exercises, that that was precisely what every writing teacher was trying to hammer into my head from the get-go. Writers write, for fudge's sake; it's in the name and everything.

So, I've gone from writing eff all to having three separate ideas progressing. Maybe not all that much or all at once, but if words are hitting the page I really can't complain. Freewriting is productive...or at least until I have a sort of narrative going. Then it becomes a little more narrow, less stream of consciousness. Let's face it, that type of writing is reserved for my all too infrequent blog entries (hello!).

Speaking of, I seem to have run out of water for that stream, so I'm just going to leave it here. Perhaps I'm reserving my creativity for all that fiction I've been talking about. Famous last words...maybe literally...for a while, anyway.
