If there was a way to beat it manually, I'm sure I could make millions. For me, I try a combination of things; I reflect on what I've written so far and try to work through scenarios of the recupercussions of he ripples that night cause, making notes of needs be.

Secondly, I try to put some distance between me and writing and let my subconscious tackle it. Sometimes the answer just sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Once you get a bit of momentum, uou can get beyond that block.(less)

Eamonn’s Quotes

“History says, Don’t hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme”
― Seamus Heaney

“The earth makes a sound as of sighs and the last drops fall from the emptied cloudless sky. A small boy, stretching out his hands and looking up at the blue sky, asked his mother how such a thing was possible. Fuck off, she said.”
― Samuel Beckett
