There are a number of time-tested, and often effective, ways to deal with a blank screen. Get up and go for a walk. Drink more coffee. Google your topic and see what you find. Use the WIRMS (What I really mean to say) exercise: That is, try to express, out loud and in one sentence, the core message you want to get across. Or simply start writing words on the screen, to see what emerges. You may be pleasantly surprised.
