Defeating Writer’s Block with Bad Art


Writer’s block is a minor problem that can strike an author at anytime, and become a significant obstacle to a person’s career. For an author, overcoming this block can be the difference between meeting a deadline or not. Thus, gaining any strategies to overcome it is beneficial for the writer, and today I will describe such a strategy for you.

This strategy is similiar to the strategy of inspiration, but works in reverse. Whereas with literary inspiration, you partake in art if only to inspire you upon ideas that will help with your writing. Or maybe this inspiration will have no direct effect on you, but simply get you thinking in such a way as you will be able to develope your writing more effectively.

I believe, however, that looking at bad art, or listening to bad music, or even reading a bad book is actually very gainful for a writer. It will have the same effect as reading a good book in that it introduces you to new concepts or puts you in a different state of mind. But in addition, works that you judge, or that your target market has overwhelmingly judged as ‘bad’ will give you an idea of things you shouldn’t do in your writing, as well as should inspire you to think up ways that the ‘bad’ writing could be improved. This process itself will help you break your own block, and continue writing.

I hope this small, very precise theory will help you develope your own ways of combating writing obstacles, and help you “BEAT THE BLOCK!”

A Secret Way To Use Mobile Phone Games To Remove “Writers Block” Almost Everytime You Write !


Dear Blog Reader,

I don’t want to get mushy here but I would be truly remiss if I failed to acknowledge all the motivating and heartfelt comments I received from Pheak Tol, Bo Tipton, Ruby, Classinova, Clickktdotcom, X, Ben Pei, Casual Love and Darkmonk.

You know, I don’t think anything I’ve ever written has generated so much honest emotion right from the very soul of my reader.

Thank You All !

Okay, enough of that stuff. Now, sharpen up and pay attention.

Listen: Did you ever wonder playing mobile phone games could remove your writers block?

I bet you will be asking how the hell can a mobile phone remove your writers block.

Don’t worry, before you even finished this particular post, you are almost on your way to the ultimate break through.



First thing first, if you doesn’t know what writers block is, it’s actually in my way of saying…

“No Ideals To Write !”

What it means is, no matter what publication you are writing right now, be it a blog post, a sales copy or an article, you will usually write a few words or sentence, and then stop and start thinking what to write next.

This is a common error communication between our mind to our hands for most people.

Even the best salesman you could possibly find, if you ever tell him to sit down and write his sales pitch, he might just look at the paper with a pen in his hand thinking, “man, how am I going to start?”

Why?

Because writing is the most difficult subject in the world, and is true that most people can talk very well but cannot write very well.

So where and how do you get ideals in your head to write swiftly like as thought you talking to a friend or whoever you can think of?

Is simple…

Just Movement !

And here’s my secret.

As you know I’m working as a store man in my father’s industrial gas company, the only free time I have is my lunch time.

During my lunch time, after I finish my food, I usually take the left over 45 minutes to play with my mobile phone game.

While playing with my mobile phone game, what I usually do is turn on my mp3 player and listen to audio seminars or interviews by great copywriters such as Gary Halbert, John Carlton, Dan kennedy and many others.

When I’m playing and listening, ideals will start to slowly flow in my head, when this ideal started to flow, I will usually write them down in short form on my small little note book which I carry around in my pocket wherever I go.

I doesn’t know why, but if I’m not wrong, is all about subconscious and the hand moment that causes the brain to open up and welcoming ideals to enter.

You see, the reason I use mobile phone game and not video or online game, is because, usually mobile phone games are easy to play and doesn’t need to think to much of it, you just need to concentrate.

And let me tell you, thinking and concentrating is two different thing, do not mix them up together.

Here’s an example that might sum up the two big words.

Imagine you are having sex with your girlfriend or your wife or anyone you could possibly think of, do you ever think of what sex position you are gonna do next to make your opposite sex partner more enjoyable?

I bet not, is all automatic, unless you are still a virgin, then there’s nothing I can say. :(

What you usually do is concentrate your enjoyment of the sex session, right?

Come on, you don’t think to enjoy, do you?

So back to the mobile phone game, is the same, I concentrate on playing my game with my hand and listen to the audio, there is nothing much to think about in your mind.

But of course, you should not play games that need to think much such as RPG or RTS games. I usually play snake or brick games, those games are just common sense games, you will only need to concentrate to really win.

Don’t scoff.

I have done it and it really works, so if you really want to remove you writers block, and let your mind open up to ideals of wisdom…

Do it !

I promise, you won’t believe how powerful this method is, I swear.

What is the title of the short story about a dystopic society, and a ballet couple dance, later got shotdown?


I read this short story in middle school and need help finding out the title. The story takes place in a dystopic society. Everyone is made equal. Beauty is shunned upon. There is a ballet couple. They dance in front of millions on the T.V. They are forced to wear masks to hide their beauty. They dance but with restriction. Later in the dance they break away from the rules of keeping their dance from being too expressive.

They both get shot down in the end for dancing freely.

What is the title of this short story?? please help!
