I'll hit some singles, drive in a few runs. I'll blast them out of the park later. =) Ah, love that one! I’ll hit some singles, drive in a few runs. I’ll blast them out of the park later. =)

Sameer, a friend of mine is an artist is doing a drawing a day and has inspired me to do a post a day, maybe something along those lines will work for you.

Personally, I find that the more time I spend outside, especially in the summer, the more it muses my writing. Maybe that'll work for you? I urge you to join me for lunch on thursday for tasty thursdays to at least experiment on this theory.

As a poet is not quite so charmed with the ability to pump out piece after piece, I find it can be exceptionally frustrating when coping with "writers block". My advice? to read a little. Not blogs of course (although I'm sure you will). I mean sit down and read entirely unrelated work--a short story, a poem, the paper. If you're working off your laptop, change your setting. Head to a different part of towm. Go to a place that has recently been on the news for a story--High Park comes to mind. Cheers, Neil Sameer,

I'm still new at the public blogging thing but when I feel slumpy, I read lots of other blogs and try to get inspired that way. If that fails, I leave the computer altogether for a little while and read some truly cool stuff like great fiction. Hope you're back to feeling like your on-fire self again SOON! :) I have definitely missed your posts!
