Hi Pam,

I love your advice on writers block. I also like Stephen King’s method of over coming writers block in which he says “There’s always a bomb in the closet”… meaning, as a writer one has the ability to let his or her imagination run wild in the moment in any direction they choose in order to move forward in the writing process. For me I call it “Taking it out a whole new door”.
