Writing and Feelings
Has there ever been a time when you were held back in your writing by how you felt? Your feelings have a great affect on your ability to write.

Speak your writing and record it.
Stuck? Often just talking about what it is that you have in mind, can bring a lot more ideas and developments to mind. So record what you want to communicate, then transcribe it and edit it later.

Describing the Obvious and Everyday in Detail
Describe something, out loud into a recording device or in writing. Something nearby in your environment. For example, you can describe the floor, the desk, stuff on the desk or floor; anything mundane that you have not even noticed for days or months.
