How to Organically Cure Writer's Block

There are a number of natural organic remedies proposed as cures for writer's block that have been used by AC content producers and others with some positive results. Some have proven to be more effective than others, but most have literary side effects.

Ephedra: This natural stimulant has not been proven effective in curing writer's block. It has been proven effective in increasing typing speeds allowing authors to take advantage of natural breaks in writer's block. Unfortunately, the author's attention is often focused on other task like vacuuming the carpet and cleaning out large storage areas rarely frequented.

Marijuana: This herbal remedy has been used for years by many writers and musicians to cure creative blocks. Marijuana has proven somewhat effective, though lapses in the writer's train of thought have been noted. Topic selection is often influenced by this herb with innovative bong design and snack options predominating the literary output of authors under the influence of this remedy.

Jazz musicians have greater success with marijuana. The free flowing style of Jazz compositions reduces the need for a logical train of thought enhancing the originality of their work.

Peyote: In the Southwestern United States, the bud of the peyote cactus has proven to be effect in breaking writer's block. A typical dosage will stimulate 20 to 24 straight hours of block free inspiration. Typing speeds generally increase to 200 to 600 words per minute. The drawback of peyote is that the stimulated author tends to write one 60,000 word article. The article often focuses on interviews with trees, flowers, rocks and pets.

Peyote is a vital component of Southwestern Native American religious culture and is not recommend for non-native Americans. Non-native Americans are advised to pack a small suitcase and to duct tape their return address on their forehead before experimentation.

Psilocybin: This natural remedy derived from wild mushrooms typically gathered from cow pastures has mixed reviews. There are examples where writer's block has been completely cured with a tea made from these mushrooms. Articles written while under the influence of this fungal cure have proven to be quite creative though at times controversial. Examples of these controversial topics would be; prominate conservative figures eating small kittens and famous animated rabbits killing animated co-stars for a bowl of cereal. These topics would be news worthy however, the authors often have difficulty relocating the sources of their information.

As the potency of the teas can be inconsistent, occasionally authors may have difficulty actually typing an article with the constant interruption of glowing, brightly colored insects and reptiles that seem to constantly crawl out of their computer monitors. This can be very distracting and may cause a complete derailment of the writer's train of thought.

Note: Since many mushrooms and toadstools are easily confused collection and consumption of these wild mushrooms should be left to trained professionals or individuals not deemed critical for the gene pool.

Natural organic medications have limited success in curing writer' block. These remedies should not be used as crutches for writers as that often leads to recreational usage. Associate Content doesn't encourage or condone the use of any writer's block remedy other that the electric cattle prod.
