Hello, I was chatting to some mates of mine and the subject of inspiration came up as it often does, when your someone who's life is a creative one, the lack of it can plague you just as often. Writers block is something all writers come across, even the most pretentious ones have their off days even if they'd never admit to it. In my first book 'The Poet Tree', there is a poem called 'Written Block' that's all about this, the most annoying part of a writers life. One of the lines I wrote goes thus; 'summer sun shadows double potential', pointing out the fact that inspiration is all around us if you take the time to look. The trouble is we do not always see what is directly before us, and if we do, other thoughts can be clouding our minds in such a way that what we see means less. The trick to overcoming writers block  as with any other kind of mental block is learning to separate the relevant parts of our minds from the constant barrage of rubbish that's thrown our way, wherever it may come from, be it the media, the ever present consumer campaign against our bank balances, or the mundane stuff we feel we can do in our sleep. When you are doing something you enjoy whether writing a book, rehearsing with your band, or just taking the dog for a walk, clear your minds of all the rubbish and enjoy the moment, it will still be there to deal with when your done, but letting it go for a while takes the pressure off, and you'll find stuff easier to deal with afterwards. http://amazon.com/author/d.n.read
