Ellwood Cooper
So far I have not experienced much of this phenomenon. At those infrequent times when I'm a bit stuck about a plot development or characterization, I distract myself temporarily by engaging in one of these favorite activities:
- going for long walks in the evening with my wife.
- locking myself in the garage and practicing my tenor sax for hours.
- sitting on the front porch singing and playing early rock and roll and country songs on my guitar.
- spending a few hours working in my woodshop putting together a horrible piece of furniture that will most likely end up in the fireplace.
- annoying my two beautiful granddaughters.
So, you see, I have many different methods of stepping away from my writing for a while that makes coming back to my writing a pleasure, and usually much more productive.
