Creativity Tips: Give Up

Want a sure-fire cure for writer's block?

Give up.

That's right. Stop. Walk away. Do something else. Forget about it. Move on. Give up.

It's like finding those dang car keys. Or the cell phone. You remember where they are when you stop searching. Stopping gives your brain the chance to do what it does best unstressed.

So when you can't come up with the right words, remember these: Give up. You'll get there. I guarantee it!
