In short, here are the headings for Gardner's nine ways to *get out of a rut:
1. Read a chapter of your WIP aloud ....
2. Write a short story ....
3. Go out for some people-watching. ...
4. Imagine your main characters in dramatic situations ....
5. Guess what? All your major characters just got laid off ....
6. Go to one of your favorite places ....
7. Record a conversation with a friend or spouse or child. ...
8. Change your writing routine. ...
9. Write a review of your book. ...For more advice, check out the Writer's Block section at Garbl's Writing Process Links.
