Title: Re: [GWL] Getting in the mood

I like to take a paragraph from someone else’s similar article and continue from there. Then remember to go back and make the first para your own.

My personal favorite is to "write a letter" to someone who doesn't know anything about the subject and imagine how I'd explain it to them.   That get's things going and once I have several paragraphs, I can go back  and edit them into shape, and continue from there.

Writer's block - arrgh! I was wondering what tips all you experts have for those moments you deal with writer's block.

I'm currently working on an article on George Rasmussen, a man who should be known by more gardeners as a world class daylily and hosta hybridizer. The fact that he lives locally and has been a mentor to me for 10 years has my fingers in knots. Is it possible to know too much about your subject?
