How do you overcome writers block?, when dealing with poems and song writing. Do you have inspiration from something? Just curious to know because it's a problem I face a a lot.

I usually end up writing
I usually end up writing about the block, I make fun of it sometimes if it has persisted I get all blue as in my poem Struggling, but one of my better poems for the block is this one:-
The Blank Page
Smooth, white crisp
and inviting
lying upon the desk
waiting,
like a new born
awaits life to mark it.
What will be written here?
will it be exciting ?
Mundane?
Shall a soupcon of wisdom
fall upon it
or shall a fool have claim?
Will the eventual
legend inlaid here upon
be treasure,
read and re-read, revered
to the fullest measure.
Filed away,
to turn yellow with age?
Or will a careless hand
blot the ink,
Crumple it, crush it and
toss away the page ?

Use the weekly Inspiration
Use the weekly Inspiration Point!
Or try something different - for you, that would be prose. Try and construct a story with beginning, middle and end and get it down. The main thing is just to keep writing.

I usually go for a few pints of Guinness; then write loads of stuff in double Dutch cos I can't see the keyboard (Sometimes better than what I usually write) :(

Good on you for asking if
Good on you for asking if there are any soultions, I generally just get stuck with writers block and I get it alot as well. Although like Bradene I wrote about it once, that helped a little bit. :-)
