Q&A: overcoming writer’s block?

• David: come up with 25 verbs for what something does; synonyms and verbal exercises; am satisfied if I wrote a good paragraph today; don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations; recognize small triumphs.
• Ron: Journaling to keep things flowing; write down what’s next in YOUR  story.
• Tracey: notebook to jot down ideas; exercise to spark ideas.
• Himanee: writer’s block, not a block, but a breakthrough; big fan of journaling.
• David: recite good works out loud; set your work aside for a while.
