Writer's block...

snow-mountain


A rule of thumb in the creativity industry is that if you hit a creative mental roadblock, run as fast and hard as you can into the nearest wall. This head-on collision will reset your entire mental wiring and you will either have cured the writer's block, or you won't even know writer's block is anymore.

Or, look out your window and write what you see.

I have a small mountain of snow immediately outside my work window. It has been larger and was actually completely removed at one point. It will probably just melt in place for the rest of the year. It won't be pretty, melting snow usually isn't.

But it is a hopeful sign of spring. This winter was typically atypical. We had several significant snow falls and a couple of serious deep freezes. We will have flooding and it will be a messy spring.

And the weather forecast today is for more snow.
