Love this!! When I’m stuck, I also follow a similar process. Going outside is my go-to!

As soon as I am unable to write, that's when the ideas flow. I've written most of my work on the side of the road after having to pull over to get my thoughts written down.

Yes!! I feel like some of my best ideas are scattered on scraps of paper or in drafted emails to myself. Inspiration strikes when we stop trying to force it.

I do take issue with one judgement you made. Where do you get the idea that writers’ block is a “down”? Everything has its season.
