Fighting writer's block that isn't really writer's block
We've all been there, at that place where you just cannot get the words to come out even when we know where a story is supposed to go, the words are like so much ether. So, what's a person to do?
I don't know. I really don't. As I sit here typing this, that's the frustrating place I find myself. I have a quasi plot outline, so I have an idea of where things should go, but can't find the words to make events actually happen. It's not even as though the characters aren't speaking to me (I can't tell you how many crazy looks I get from my family when I mention the characters talking to me) it's more that there's all this ... noise in my head that I can't hear what they're saying.
We all have lives to live outside the worlds we create. So, how do I get rid of the white noise buzzing inside my head which is comprised of all laundry list of things that I need to accomplish in my real life.
The following article I found gives great advice on overcoming writer's block by some very respected authors.

But what do you do when it's not technically writer's block?
I just don't have a clue.
