What a clever and apt analogy! I also enjoyed the way you tied in God's words to Joshua.

Yes, that works. Your suggestion reminded me of Sir Winston Churchill, when he encouraged people fearfully staring at a blank canvas to just brush a blob of paint on it, anywhere, any colour... there, now you can move forward. (my very loose paraphrase).<br /><br />You've given a great set of ideas. Thanks so much!<br /><br />Brenda<br /><br /> Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-29546840885246649632015-08-29T15:53:16.932-07:002015-08-29T15:53:16.932-07:00So many great ideas and encouraging words.

I thought it was interesting how you started out describing writer's block with words like...fret, pace, fume and panic and then you lead in with where you live: the "Peace" Region. I sort of chuckled before moving on. I love how you encouraged us to try cursive writing and free writing. I couldn't agree with you more. Keep on caressing the paper!!

Great analogy. <br />I especially liked this line: "Much like water flowing over the dam generates energy used to light our homes, these exercises may help flood us with new energy that breaks through any word-logjam."
