The first is to keep going, keep writing - even when it feels as impossible as pushing custard up a mountain with a rake - because writing is a job like any other and I wouldn't give up cooking a fancy dinner half way through or walk out on a difficult class I was teaching.. Pushing on often works, and even if most of it is later deleted, there's often some small nugget that passes... However, if I can actually feel my blood pressure rising and I really, really feel like stabbing the computer keyboard, I go for a walk. Fast. Thinking of nothing but moving my legs. If nothing else, the outside space puts things into perspective.(less)
