    What is the best LEGAL way to cure writer's block? I can't write any more stuff bout my boyfriend, cause although he's awesome, I need variety. This was actually really depressing me the other night, I felt so worthless. Help me here, please!

    Excercise.

    I do my best creative thinking about 7 or 8 km into a run.

    Not a good idea. I mainly write at night, and I'd prefer to not get grounded twice in a month. Also I have the physical ability of a gnome on speed. That is also how I dance unfortunately

    Go someplace you have never been before, it opens up worlds.

    It doesn't have to be running. Just any time-consuming thoughtless aerobic activity.

    Listen to music... Helps me a bit... That doesn't mean write what they're singing about but it can help inspire.

    Half the battle is being assed - or as we say in uk - arsed - like I've got ideas comin out my ears but its all to easy to go out drinking or lie in a chair in your underwear or make worthless points on an internet forum when I should be visually or aurally creating..Best way to get inspired:- is different for everyone.When I was a kid I used to light a candle,turn all the lights off and drink one glass of red wine while listening to 1920's music.These days - its more like listening to radio plays or visiting an art gallery or a museum or having a fire at night - or .....wait for it..... washing my clothes - it's so mundain but makes me feel so much better that I suddenly get loads of ideas...

    Draw random stuff, and write about what you draw.

    Drugs don't generally help with writing. Well, they help with writing music, and pretty much every other art form, but if your thoughts are too weird to verbalize, then I doubt it'll help.

    YES...POST NUMBER 420!!!
