Pick a book from your bookcase, and start reading. Reading
is how writers study. We read to study other's work to figure out why it's good
or bad, and to discover new styles of writing. However, this time you should
read something to enjoy it, instead of to analyze it. If you don't have one
you're interested in reading now, go to your library and browse the books
there. Find something you'd like to read, or one of your old favorites. If
you'd rather not invest the time in reading a book at this time, pick up a
magazine or newspaper.
Keep practicing these ways to lessen bouts of writer's block, and you may
soon find yourself wondering how you once let it control you.
