I started writing this intro no less than seven times yesterday. And still, the magic was not coming into my fingers. None of my usual tricks worked. I ran some errands and got a little bit of walking in. I tried setting a timer. I tried just writing, and nothing seemed to take. My friend Kandice told me that I probably needed to relax and do some self-care. And reminded me that Mercury is in retrograde. Which, of course, had me like, "OF COURSE IT IS. THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING." 🤯It's like the non-dystopian version of being in the Hunger Games.  May the odds be ever in our favor? 🏹I told my Facebook friends I was blocked and asked for their suggestions on what to write about. Some folks said I should write about the weather (snow and brutal temps in the Chi 🥶), loneliness (that struggle is also real), or just let the answers come to me. Others suggested I just write about feeling blocked. So here I am, in all of my blocked glory, asking for some of your help: What are YOUR favorite tricks/hacks/tips for dealing with writer's block? On to the picks!P.S. Brandy and Whitney Houston's Cinderella is coming to Disney+ next week. This is happy news I didn't even know I needed.
