Riddikulus!

While I had writer's block I decided to play around with, what I figured was a lame, figure-of-speech exercise. During the course of playing with words I rediscovered the fun. I laughed at myself. Even better, I was able to laugh at what I was writing. I didn't take is so seriously anymore. Then I was able to write without constraints.

I think, like many other people, I get wound up in the schedule of life, "You have to write," and "You have a deadline." All this pressure builds up slowing down and even preventing the flow of writing. Therefore my recipe for encountering extreme seriousness is to do the exact opposite. Write about something lame, stupid  or ridiculous. Think of writer's block as your Boggart and use the Riddikulus! charm to turn it into something fun.
