So here I am, staring at my computer, trying to write up a hands-on impression of Sony's Free Realms. It's killing me, since the game is officially released tomorrow and I've been putting off for like a week. I wrote two paragraphs in about I don't know... 4 hours?

Don't you guys hate it when you're writing something, and nothing comes to you? I try to make my stuff entertaining which is why I'm having so much trouble...

Adjourn to another dimension. Stuff's bound to come to you after you've seen Humphrey Bogart riding a unicorn down a rainbow.

take a little break, clear your mind and relax a bit. I personally like to just lay outside in my hammock and get some fresh air

I try to listen to music when I write but dammit it's not helping! That's it. I need new music!

I can write fiction with ease (plays/stories/poems) but as soon as I have to write anything that requires no creativity, my brain dies. Just write anything that pops into your head, and make some changes after.

I actually write A LOT (creatively and analytically) so what I usually do when my brain decides it needs a break is either watch some TV, listen to music, read something, just anything to help get my mind off the subject

Just type the first thing that pops into your head. Don't think, just type. Even if it doesn't make sense at first and it may or may not be in English, just keep typing.

Yeah right now I can't draw nothing, whenever I attempt to draw nothing. It doesn't happen!!! So I draw zombies for fun too, but I can't draw them that much anymore. But hey at least I don't have writers block in music writing.

I hate when that happens. Sometimes some of my best ideas come to me when I am taking a shower. :P You could try that...:?

I seem to get stuck in blockage a lot when I try to draw. I just can't seem to come up with something original to draw/create. I guess I am not as creative as I had once thought. :(
