Top 10 Ways to Navigate Yourself Out of Writer's Blind Canyon

Number 10. Walk Away.
Hardest thing for any writer to do. Then again, maybe you've been doing nothing but stare at a computer screen for three days. Lock it up somewhere and go do something productive. Like homework. Or laundry. you know what, don't do this one unless you're really desperate ^_^

Number 9. Ego Stroking.
We've all got one, so it's ok to flaunt it sometimes. In moderation. With a couple of good friends. And popcorn. At least once a week.

Number 8. Anne Perry, Lauren Willig, John Mortimer, and/or Dorothy Gilman
Brilliant writers. All with an awesome understanding of humor, humanity and relationships. Plus, it's a great way to spend a weekend when you have no homeowork. And a quote book to fill.

Number 7. Dirty Dancing.
For any female craving Patrick Swayze and the 80s. Also has great dialogue and perfect examples of romantic dialogue. Be still all female hearts.

Number 6. The Big Bang Theory
Four Nerds. Dry humor. For half an hour. Every night. On three different channels. 'Nuff said.

Number 5. Raw Cookie Dough
This best, cheapest snack to make. Yes, it's also something I make when I'm bored. And taste good as cookies too. Try a couple of spoonfuls for an awesome Pick Me Up.

Number 4. Socializing
Or, "How to Avoid Being a Writing Hermit".

Number 3. The Shower.
When I'm hungry, I get food. When I reach a plot hole, I hop in the shower!

Number 2. Supernatural

Hands down, the best sci-fi show on any Prime Time Channel. Add two really attractive(and unfortunately married) male actors, and a brilliant blend of humor, violence, and brotherly affection make for the best hour on Friday nights! (No wonder I have all six seasons as part of my DVD collection)

Number 1. James Cagney

Right in front of Humphry Bogart, and the most attractive redhead in black and white(and married, go figure) James Cagney is the most brilliant icon of the 1930s, 40s and 50s gangster movies. Plus, his machine gun line delivery and satisfied chuckle(which he does at least once is every single one of his movies) is the epitome of perfection. (I have all of his radio performances on my iPod, and my two favorite movies in my DVD collection.

Writer's all go through it, but it's not called Writer's Block. There is no such thing. It's called a Blind Canyon, and it's really hard to get out of. so try these!
