ACCORDING TO WEBSTER: Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work.
A common cause of writer’s block is a simple temporary loss of critical memory at a critical time. You can’t remember an idea or a name or the name of a certain town or perhaps an important item.

Simply and completely put it out of your mind. How? 6 red XXXXXX’s! Hit your space bar a half dozen times then type in 6 red XXXXXX’s and continue your writing. You know that the missing name, place, idea or whatever will come to you eventually. When it does, go to FIND. Type in the 6 red XXXXXX’s. Go to site, erase the XXXXXX’s. Fill in the blank. Voila!
