Anybody with demolition experience...

.. know how to rig C-4 to blow Writer's Block?

This empty screen is mocking me. All the words and ideas are right behind my eyes, swirling there like jets stacked up over an airport, but the runways are closed..

I'm trying my usual tricks, writing something other than Traveller, writing haiku about the Giants

Ninth inning, our lead
Vanishes in summer fog
Bullpen blows the save.


But not one word is coming through.

*headdesk*

As for getting my story started, I follow Lois McMaster Bujold's advice:

"What is the worst thing you can do to your main character? Do it. See what your main character does about it."
