Sometimes, most times, and often times, we want to be writing. There are a few tricks I’ve tried, such as changing the writing instrument, or going for a walk. But another is picking up an old story–even if you’ve edited it a dozen times, the process of looking over your older work can tip that block off your shoulders and get you writing again.
Plus, editing is a part of the writing process, and if you’re like me, you put off editing as much as possible (it’s always nicer to have a shiny new text file than to try and polish an old one). Getting to work, even though editing uses a different part of my brain, is still training and connecting whatever synapses trigged the creativity needed to tell a new story.
