Know the feeling... The only thing for it is to sit and wait for inspiration and it's frustrating!

Fun, isn't it? It's like you've suddenly lost one of your senses. Then you just sort of flail around for awhile hoping it comes back. And it doesn't want to....

What I do, is I just get in the car and drive around aimlessly for awhile. I don't know why, but the sense of movement always seems to help my creative process somehow....

you definitely need to get out of your "office" and relax for a bit. Writers block (from my own experience) can be caused from simply being burned out, or stressed about soemthing, so if you go do somethign else and relax for a bit that will usually help. Whatever you do, dont sit there trying to force anythign to happen, lol.

I saw a news show about a research scientist who also writes sci-fi novels. His trick was putting in time. Somedays he would maybe get out a paragraph other days pages. But he could only do it by sitting in the chair in front of his computer.

I only know what I see on TV (and the internet)
