Writer Un-Blocked

By Matt - Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

A couple days ago I posted saying I was suffering from a bout of writers block and I’m now over this. And what managed to get me out of my writing funk was sitting down with a beer at a restaurant having some lunch. Not what you would normally expect to solve a writing problem but what I did during that lunch is to start writing out anything and everything that I could come up with regards to writers block.

The moment I started to write down some ideas it was as if the floodgates had been opened. I could barely scribble down my ideas fast enough. So this morning as I was sitting down to write this post I decided to do a bit of research to see what the web had to say about writers block and the definition on wikipedia even offered some suggestions on how to get over it. As it turns out by going and making some notes as I was having a beer was partially one of the solutions that were suggested (writing someplace different).

This whole little episode lead me to thinking how much do our regular routines hamper us in our every day lives. I would guess that most of us look at our finances in exactly same way - what would happen if we stopped with our regular routines and try a fresh approach? I don’t know if this would make a huge impact to me or my finances but I think it might be a good approach try thinking outside of the box and see what ideas come out.
