One way of bypassing writers block

I have had a lot of different ideas in my head but for some reason I was having a hard time getting them out when I opened the word preocessor. I would simply sit there trying to think about where to start and what to write. I knew what it was that I wanted to write about but I kept stuttering off the start. Not really sure how I wanted to put it into words.

Then I stumbled on to a way to get around this, it worked for me and maybe it will help you.

I got away from the computer. I didn’t do this on purpose, I was waiting for someone and had a note pad and pen in my bag. So I took it out and started writing. Before I knew it I had 3 good blogs posts on paper, not to mention a couple of really good outlines for articles that I was hoping to write.

This method may seem to be counter productive since now I have to type them in, but I am a fast typer and the extra time does not affect my productivity much. It really is a moot point if I was going to be sitting in front of my computer for 30 min to an hour trying to think about what to put down.

Does anyone else have a good idea to get around writers block?
