I’m definitely tuned into other forms of artistic/creative expression as a means for dealing with a block. My favorite is drawing though I’ve been known to cook with mixed results.

Sweet and Sour Ravioli was an experience my wife has never allowed me to forget.

I’ve found when all else fails, it can help to either take some time out to appreciate someone else’s work whether it’s a novel, movie, or music, or to give another form of creativity a try. Fly or fail, nothing seems to bust through writer’s block better than getting the imagination running on something, anything, whether it’s writing something else, making up a silly tune to entertain your children, drawing, or even making up a new recipe. Though the last one there might not be so great for your waistline if you have an overgrown sweet tooth.

Great post.
