Hello all! Like you, I'm an avid reader and writer. I mainly write in the fantasy/adventure genre, and am working on an online serial at the moment called Above Ground (freely available). What I like about writing webserials is it's the ultimate in getting feedback immediately for what is, in the end, a first draft.

Anyway. I wanted to ask you all a question: what are your techniques for overcoming writer's block?

writing is the cure for writers block.

don't read, just think.

well, clearly writing is the cure. i wanted to know if there are any writing techniques you use in particular.

for example, sometimes i go on the tube with a notepad and surreptitiously write a description of whomever it sitting across from me - that tends to give me ideas.
