Writer block!!!

I often write for various medical and psychological magazine, which I enjoy a lot. However, in the past month and half. I have not been able to write anything or even think of anything that merit writing about. Other, that life is rich in glory and in misery. In the past month my mind as been in blank and I find myself loss in the mist of life and the people that occupied my thoughts and feelings.

The best method is just to wait it out. If you try to write when nothings coming to you its going to wind up being much worse than if you sat down to do it at a time when ideas just flowed to you. A good idea is to read for a while, study how the author describes things, makes transitions, makes everything flow together. Then when an idea hits you, or you feel your up for the task again, start writing and see if you've gotten over your writer's block.

HOWEVER! Don't make a habit of it. Waiting for the mood to strike you is a sure way to wind up with an unfinished manuscript. If you have to, make rules for yourself that are rigid yet lenient enough to allow yourself time for such situations. Make a schedule, or just force yourself to write so many words per week.

I wrote this today because, I felt that people that write and have a set schedule for any magazine or newspaper need to find a quiet place and mediate before you can write about anything in concrete. In my life of work I find myself reading, researching and calling colleagues about my article that needs to be writing in a weeks time. Once, again wait and think on what is really on your mind then, take off.
