Hi there. My name is Scott Duffy, and welcome to my book writing log. I have documented the process of writing my last two books on this site, and have started my third. This book will be called Visual Studio Team System In Action, and should be available in 2005.

How to Break Writer's Block

From Boing Boing:

Hack your way out of writer’s block

Mark Frauenfelder: Merlin Mann of 43 Folders has a great list of ways to break through writer's block.

Write crap - Accept that your first draft will suck, and just go with it. Finish something.

Unplug the router - Metafilter and Boing Boing are’’t helping you right now. Turn off the Interweb and close every application you d’n’t need. Consider creating a new user account on your computer with none of your familiar apps or configurations.

Write the middle - Stop whining over a perfect lead, and write the next part or the part after that. Write your favorite part. Write the cover letter or email ’ou’ll send whe’ it’s done.

My favourite method is "just write". Write crap but just write.
