Writing about Writers Block: A Miracle Cure Despite the Contradiction?

Desperado22
Starting an article is the hardest thing i've had to do in a long, long time. Why? I honestly don't know. I'm sitting here, trying to write about video-games, Texas Hold em, and other things that interest me, and I just can't seem to do it. Where is the great solution for this evil known as writers block? Lets explore that together shall we?

Searching the web has proved a fruitless. My answers don't seem to come as easily as I figured they would. One site suggests I stop drinking caffeine, another, that I relax my mind and body, and let my spirit flow. Many of the web-sites I had hoped would help me to find relief, only offer a definition, of writers block. If that's how their going to be, then it's time for a revolution! Mutiny! Onward creative brain cells! Give me an Idea! Yet, I apparently have nothing. What is this world coming to, when a man has nothing to write about? I'm writing a book, and I have ideas on how to describe the wall paper in my protagonist's home. Then, Boom! A flash of light in my dreary tunnel. Why not write an article, about writing an article? Writing for writers block? Insane? Yes maybe, but ... yes, yes it is working! By God! I have Ideas after-all!

Dear reader, I hope you've found this as amusing to read as I have to write. I've no great solution for curing writers block, only, a small suggestion. When confronted with this wall that we, as researchers, writers, and vessels of opinions, so dread. Perhaps we should go back to the very base of what we do. Not really a subject perhaps, but just a state of mind. May I suggest, just writing, perhaps about nothing at all, just random thoughts. Then maybe, you can channel those random thoughts, into a hammer, one fit for breaking the dreaded wall we all run into. It's not a flashy method or cure. There is no mantra's to recite, no diet changes to be made. I'll not suggest you turn off all of your lights, put on some slow-jam, and slowly caress and coax that deep, inner genius out. No my friend, perhaps just writing, in and of itself, will cure your writers block. I'm sure you've tried dancing on your head and running around in your underwear, I know I have! Yet this seems to work best for me, and in the future, I hope it works for you too.
