Okay, now to share what I've learned today. For weeks I was stuck in chapter 10 of my #WIP and it was so frustrating! Every time I went to write, I opened my macbook and instead of making progress, I ended up proof reading and editing and tweaking and proof reading and editing and tweaking, oh my! Damn you, vicious cycle!

Today, I put my foot down. I thought, change of scenery. Too many distractions in my room. So I grabbed my notebook and went to the library. Complete 360! The library in my town is painfully small, but there is a study area that has comfy chairs and excellent lighting. Big windows circle the room, allowing, bright, natural light inside. With it being the middle of a weekday, there was hardly anyone there. Magazine pages flipping back and forth, people exchanging hushed whispers- it created just enough noise that I wasn't in deafening silence. I could concentrate. I could hear myself think without getting completely lost in my head.

Anyway, I'm getting off on a tangent. I had writer's block. A severe case of writer's block. So I abandoned my room where I was getting no inspiration whatsoever and went elsewhere to find my muse. Like I said, worked like a charm. I went old school, ditching the laptop for my notebook. I put pen to paper and a miracle happened! Words were born! It was fricken awesome! Sure, it took me a few minutes to get going, but once I started, I couldn't stop! I #wrote for nearly two hours! Success!!!

Hope this helps anyone else experiencing #writersblock!
