Christi is my niece. She read the Writer’s Block post I recently entered, and she actually took the time to think about my dilemma. I was at an impasse and quite incapable of creative thought , much less creative writing.
Christi then shared an idea she had for restoring creativity and the urge to write.
Here is what she said:
“Aunt Dorothy,
I have been reading about your writer’s block and I have an idea that might help. Go for a drive, go somewhere you don’t normally go and just look around. I suggest this because as I am sitting here in NYC, I looked up and saw a sign for a nuclear fallout shelter. I starting thinking that I had never seen one before and then, I wondered how many people had even noticed it. What kinds of things exist around us every day that we either don’t notice, or take advantage of?
I don’t know if this will help your writer’s block or not, but I hope it does.”

Isn’t this fantastic advice?
And it works! I actually went for a drive today and came up with a great idea.
Thanks Christi. You make a difference.
