I am no longer earning a living writing, now it's for fun. However, to break the curse of mental constipation, I arose an hour earlier than I normally did, each hour for a month. I immediately went to the kitchen table, sat down with a notebook and pen and started writing about the first thing that came into my mind for five minutes. My object was to write a short story to conclusion in five minutes. It was fascinating. I still have the notebook and have a hard time making out my scribbling since my thoughts were flowing so fast I could barely keep up. That mental colon irrigation was never needed again. After thirty days I had thirty stories. I enjoyed your article and will save it for my own reference. Thank you. I had a tremendous case of writers block, burnout is what I call it.
