How Does One Defeat Writer's Block?

    Fag, rhymes with shag. Which helps too by the way :D As for my meditation...usually 15-30 minutes, until the wine kicks in. But don't worry, it works without wine. I don't drink everyday lol. :D

    I prefer the word 'ciggy' instead of fag. But really wine helps? I usually drink tea (bottles and bottles of tea) while writing. But due to the month of fasting, I've been rarely doing that.

    We mostly call it either "ciggy" or "nail" here. And yeah, wine really helps. With lot of things, mate. xD

    I'm partial to a good cup of Puerto Rico's (godly delicious) coffee, myself. It does actually get me going with writing, sometimes.

    Puerto Rican? Pshaw! Cuban Coffee is where it's at, even my Puerto Rican fiance agrees with me.

    Honestly, I love all coffee that isn't the strange brew from the United States. Puerto Rican coffee is just the easiest to get ahold of, seeing as how I live on the island. But I happily drink Cuban, or Jamaican, or Arabian, or Italian, or- well, you get the idea.

    I thought 'fag' was only used that way in Britain! Given what it means in the US I can see why Tenebrous was a little confused :)

    When I'm stuck I find the best way is just write anything at all, stream of onsciousness, anything, seems to get the fingers working. Music can help too. I also pace the floor if something's there but I just can't quite nail it.

    The advantage of not being a English speaker...you'll take over lot of words from different English countries. :)
