I need fresh air and exercise.
If I stay alone at my desk, indoors all day, I get paralyzed. I allow myself to be distracted by social media, other computer tasks – even housework, which is probably a good thing!
I don’t need to go for a run or anything like that. Even if I just go outside and walk around the yard for a while, I get some clarity. I may not be able to jump back in and write another thousand words right away, but it stops the depressing “writers block” mindset.

Great thoughts, Cathe! I’ve also found it helps to take an occasional break to clear my head, so–when I remember 🙂 –I set an alarm.
