Writer's block. That dreaded, temporary "malady" that contains its own solution. For me, it's like the proverbial getting right back onto that horse after you have fallen off. The most direct route to its resolution I have found to be... start writing. Write down what is happening ("I am right in the middle of writer's block!) and what your thoughts are about it, describing the experience as you find yourself in it and your reactions to being there. What I find is that while doing so, other ideas emerge and start taking on a life of their own. Much like heliotropism is a plant's natural response to the presence of the sun's light, such basic and seemingly mundane thoughts find a separate source of ... more thoughts! And once that process begins, it becomes like the vine that sends out curling tendrils that seek out support from nearby branches: thoughts beget thoughts, and in the process, the expansion and quality of those thoughts naturally emerges and grows. And the next thing you know, you are back in the flow!
