Try recording yourself talking about the article you want to write and then listen to what you said - works for me all the time. I'll even record it via webcam so I get my facial emotions involved.

I think you ought to take a day off and watch old movies. I did. Just watched a bunch of old Jeanne Tierney movies. It was great! She was wonderful at being demented, but very beautiful.

Start working on another campaign, in an unrelated niche.
Or give up. I gave up some. But it wasn't writer's block: my stomach was turning every time I saw my product.

Or, like the shoe people say, just do it. Write crap. If you write long enough, there'll be something you can use.

Hi Moonstone. I know the feeling. Head wants to explode and it feels like I'm writing in a totally new language - the words seem to be going out of my brain and not meshing together. Writer's block happens. Take a break and do something totally unrelated where you are. Get back to it after a time when you feel ready. When you start writing again - Do an outline first of your main ideas and just let the words come out as you write beneath those main points. Even if they don't mean much, just write along - this will can lead you out of your stuck zone eventually. Also, if I really don't want to write or I'm just staring at the screen, I write on paper, draw or just doodle away. If that doesn't work, then I go to EZA or other article directory with like same articles that I'm trying to write about and just read through - this eventually gives me ideas on how I want my article to be like and the fog dissipates after awhile. Good luck and take care!
