Lynn:
I love “clear the mechanism”. For me, it’s usually a workout. I even blogged about this the other day. I clear my head and get some of my best ideas while running.

Good luck with the deadline!

Good for you that you can turn the internet off! The only way I can do that is to go somewhere there is NOT free wifi.

Exercise is also very good for getting the mind working! I sometimes hit the treadmill when I’m stuck.

Hey Lynn

I’m terrible about getting distracted with the internet and the searches so I allow myself 10 minutes in the morning and at night, then I HAVE to turn it off. When I get tired I’ll get up and either ride my stationary bike or do some tae-bo moves to get the blood pumping again. That way I can get my butt in the chair and finish the word goal of the day. Can’t wait to read CLH.

I think that’s a good one, Eve! I’ve done that before, when I’m really tired, and I also find that a hot shower helps too. Whatever it takes, right?

My answer may sound cheeky,or even lame, only it works for me. A catnap.
I sit back in my favorite chair, close my eyes, and let the world float away for a few minutes, clearing the ‘cluttered house’ of my brain. Fifteen or twenty minutes later I’m back in front of the monitor, raring to go.
If I’m r e a l l y lucky, a solution to a troubling facet of my story may even filter through.
