Sometimes, when I have a writer's block or feel overwhelmed by the writing task ahead of me, I draw. It gets the creative juices flowing again, and it effectively unblocks whatever part of you needs to write. This can be done many different ways, but what I do is simple, and it works for most folks: pick a random word from the dictionary and in five minutes, draw the meaning of it on a piece of paper. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, and you don't have to be a great artists, just pick up a marker or a pencil and draw the meaning down. It is a good way to get unstuck, so you can write again.
Here is what came out of my latest exercise when I chose the word "dream" from my dictionary. Good luck and good writing!
