Go for a walk; do some gardening. Or tackle it head on by doing some freefall writing, i.e., sit in front of your computer and just write whatever comes into your head. Or start from one word such as "anger" and keep writing for 15 minutes. Do not stop to think or correct typos or word choice. This will help unlock your writer's block.(less)

East End Writers back and me too

Some of you may be wondering what has happened to the East End Writers’ group which I have been running since 2000, especially since COVID  arrived and our meeting location –  S. Walter Stewart library branch as well as the whole Toronto Public Library in-person closed down for some time. You may also be wondering where I have been. Well, on Facebook and via Email and Zoom, but some of my s

Ben Hi Sharon,
I knew from Shane Joseph that your book will be launched on Nov 4. Sorry that day is taken up for me.
Yes, I am busy writing and editing and giving writing workshops to WEN members. My new book of bilingual short stories (English and Konkani) has come out in Goa, India. After my illness four years ago, I don't drive or go out at night, so no longer with CAA.
Best wishes and much success to you.
