I hate feeling the pressure to write. It's why I could never actually be a writer. I studied copywriting and journalism in undergrad but whenever the pressure was on I would find myself lost in a mess of profound confusion, staring at a blank sheet of white paper. I find myself in that place once again. I have so many thoughts swirling around and I have so much that I want to share. But for now that is all you get! How do you overcome writers block?

Step away from the white paper. Instead, put it in your purse (in the form of a journal)and keep living, but make strategic choices to experience new things that might stimulate you: Museum, music, random events, talk to strangers, and keep an ipod with you. This has worked for me. I do the above alone, so that if something occurs to me, I dont have interference, and can sit down where I am and start the flow. These are little ways to jumpstart you. Why do you feel pressure - are you under deadline, or are you forcing yourself to come up with something?
