In my "other" job as a COO for a national non-profit, I would say it's just the wise stewardship of available resources, but I'm not sure that kind of jargon counts when discussing writer's block.
In reality, I'm trying to avoid saying, I eat copious amounts of chocolate or ice cream (better yet, chocolate ice cream) until my muse comes back to help me get through the block. (less)

My advice is simple: read and write.

Read everything you can get your hands on from novels and biographies, to newspaper articles and blog posts. Reading is a way to observe how other authors have been successful - to pick up tools that work, and to avoid pitfalls that won't be as well received.

Then there is no way around practicing the craft you want to develop. Not everything you write needs to be a story, but there are lessons to be learned in authoring an editorial, a review of another person's work, a persuasive e-mail, and of course, a full length novel. There is no way to get better without using the skills you are trying to build, so write freely and learn to enjoy the exercise of using words to capture moments, ideas and feelings, and then find a forum to share them with others.

Hindsight

“Hindsight is twenty-twenty.” I’ve heard that saying for years and just assumed it was true because it’s easy to agree that after the dust has settled it’s often simpler to announce what the best course of action should have been. However, I’ve had a few recent instances where I no longer believe the cliché can be universally applied.

A recent example involves my youngest son David. He’s six now, a Read more of this blog post »
