H. Hennenburg
Generally, I clear my mind and cultivate a sense of openness to whatever comes. I don't judge or try to direct the ideas and words as they surface; I just trust the process and allow the flow. I can always go back and edit later. Often, I get some spontaneous inspiration when I'm in nature or when I'm traveling. I do feel stuck sometimes, and I've trained myself not to panic. I know from experience, the inspiration will start to flow again eventually. I also recently took an on-line course by Jessica Brody called Conquering Writer's Block (Writing Mastery), and found her ideas to be quite useful at getting the creative juices flowing.
