Whether working on a non-fiction article or a short story, writer’s block is one thing I think all writers probably face at one time or another. My favorite way to beat the block? Make a word collage. I’m a visual, artsy person, so I keep a stack of catalogs on hand for art projects. When I’m dealing with writers block, I’ll pull out a few catalogs, old magazines, newspapers, junk mail (anything with words). I cut the words out and rearrange them. I don’t use the words to write anything, but playing around with the process clears my mind and inspires me somehow. Yes, I’m weird! But there you have it.

How do YOU beat writers block?
