• Cut the opening paragraph.
• Do ten minutes of free writing.
• Write a blog post about how to beat writer’s block.
• Do some housework.
• Go for a walk.
• Read a book.
• Do some exercise.
• Have a cup of coffee and some cake.
• Listen to music.
• Write your main character’s journal.
• Write something totally different.
• Write your book’s blurb.
• Edit a photo of yourself to look like a zombie.
• People watch.
• Wash your hair.
• Buy yourself a new notebook.
• Write something to throw away.
• Write the stupidest story you can think of.
• Write poetry.
• Write a song.
