On the job, I use the "blah blah" theory of handling a block--usually over a word, sentence, or paragraph. I'll write, "Add some blah blah blah about the propulsion system," then come back to it later, after my subconscious has had time to work on it.
Off duty (fiction writing), I don't have any great suggestions. I recently cured a two-year case of writer's block by writing a short story. After that story, I went back to quietude. I"m not quite as disciplined in my fiction. Oops.

I'm grateful that I can earn a living from writing. I don't have a lot of other useful skills.

Keep reading, keep writing. Figure out what you enjoy the most and focus on that. The more you work at it, the better you do.

I'm currently deep into marketing Heroic Technical Writing. Also giving some thought to trying to publish some of my better fiction.

My desire to write came out of my love of reading. I love how words can be used to express and change minds.

Heroic Technical Writing was born out of my blog with the same title. The goal was to provide a single handbook with my primary thoughts about the job and all the business and personal behaviors that go with it.
