Title: HOW TO OVERCOME WRITER'S BLOCK
Author: Craig Lock
Article:
Just thought I'd share a few thoughts on how to use the amazing
powers of your creative imagination to the fullest in overcoming
"writer's block"...
Letting you know that I start all my novels with a BASIC PLOT
(plan) and don't have much idea how it's all going to end up
("pan out". I don't use techniques, like "mindmapping" and have
found that by writing one chapter at a time then simply "letting
go", the story simply flows onto the next naturally (at least I
think it does!).
When I get "stuck" for a while, I take a long walk along the
stunningly beautiful beaches here, which really relaxes me and
then the thoughts simply "flow into my head". This takes hold
and I get a clear vision of the next small step ahead (always)-
through the amazing powers of the subconscious mind , which is
where our INSPIRATION comes from. .. and this leads, impels
(nice word!) us into ACTION.
I study and write quite a bit about the amazing powers of the
human mind... and truly believe the "powers" are available to
ALL writers, when they simply relax and trust their intuition.
"Let Go and Let God, the Universe reveal plot (or ANY IDEA to
move forward) to you" through your CREATIVE IMAGINATION... and
it never fails to work for me (in all areas of life, I believe)!
Enough "spiritual thoughts" and back to writing! Hope this may
help in whatever endeavour you choose (artistic or otherwise),
as it does me.

Authors Note:
This short article was a reply to a question in a literary
magazine on how I use my creative imagination (or subconscious
mind) to overcome writer's block .
N.B: I truly believe we ALL have this amazing power within us
(not only writers) and like any skill, it just needs to be
developed with practice. The creative imagination can solve any
problem you may encounter down the "river of life". P.S: Sorry
about all the "eyes" in the article, but didn't know how to
write it any other way. Perhaps I should have left the "problem"
to my creative imagination!
" I truly believe we can all create and enthuse magic into
'so-called humdrum little lives'. You don't just have to be the
choreorapher, or the conductor of your life script - rather
paint your life as the the masterpiece it could (one day) be.
There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul, that
flows through (and from ), the Source of our Being, the Spirit
of God, Life. So don't spend your days stringing and tuning your
instrument; start making and playing your unique tunes of music
now."
