Press Release Summary: People who earn a living from their writing literally can\'t
afford to have a case of writer\'s block.

Press Release Body: SANDPOINT, Idaho - People who earn a living from their writing
literally can\'t afford to have a case of writer\'s block. Book author and publishing
expert Susan Daffron of Logical Expressions, Inc. was involved in the design of the
company\'s IdeaWeaver writing and creativity software and offers these suggestions to
writers based on her white paper \"Get Unstuck! 15 Ways to Jumpstart Your Creativity,
Get Organized, and Finish Your Writing Project,\" which comes with the 30-day trial
version of IdeaWeaver.

1. Try free writing. Free writing is the practice of simply sitting down and writing
something -- anything at all -- for a specific period of time. For example, set a
timer for 10 minutes. Now write without stopping for the entire 10 minutes without
any interruption.

2. Use the storyteller approach. Many newspaper or magazine articles start with a
personal anecdote or story about someone and then move into a more general
discussion of the subject. To use the same trick, take a topic and spin a yarn about
it.

3. Put yourself in someone else\'s shoes. Ask questions as if you were the reader of
the document. In acting parlance, you are \"role playing.\" Imagine the reader and all
her likes and dislikes. Then write down all her questions and answer them.

The dreaded blank page can be intimidating, but it doesn\'t have to be an
insurmountable problem. Writers who need to see results right away can use these
tips to jump-start their creativity and meet tight deadlines. Daffron points out
that like anything else, writing gets easier with practice. For professional
writers, increased output not only results in increased income, it can decrease
episodes of writer\'s block as well.

"IdeaWeaver" is free to try for 30 days. A license costs $49.95. The free trial
download of the software is available at: www.IdeaWeaverSoftware.com. The site
features a free \"getting started\" video, case studies, and a free e-mail white paper
called \"Get Unstuck! 15 Ways to Jumpstart Your Creativity, Get Organized, and Finish
Your Writing Project.\" For information on other products, visit:
