Weekly Writing Tip: Walk Away

Writer's block is a tough hurdle to get over. A Zero Draft can help; so can walking away from you computer or notebook and doing something where your mind has time to rest or process through your ideas. Try literally walking away - go for a 30-60 minute walk around your neighborhood or at a local park. If you are in the Kirkland area, check out Bridle Trails or St. Edward's Park. If you are worried about forgetting any ideas that come to you during your time away, take your phone, a small notebook, or a voice recorder with you. Make sure the length of your break gives you enough time to write again when you get back.
