Here's a situation all writers have dealt with at some point: You're hammering away at your script, trying to finish it up in time to send it to your agent, or your friend, or maybe a certain screenplay competition that starts this month, when you hit a brick wall. The ideas stop flowing. You stare at the blank page for hours, endlessly writing and deleting lines that you deem not good enough.

You've got writer's block, and chances are you've had it before. It happens to everyone from time to time - the creative process is difficult, and sometimes all that strain can burn the lightbulb out. Writer's block is especially merciless because it can strike without warning, usually when you need your creativity the most. And unlike some other writing-inhibiting ailment such as a headache, there isn't a pill you can take to get rid of it.

(Well, maybe that's not true - were he still alive, Hunter S. Thompson would probably argue that there are a number of pills and other substances you can take to fight writer's block, but we here at the BlueCat Newsletter do not in any way endorse that type of behavior.)

While writer's block has no cure, treatment is available, and that's what we're offering in this week's newsletter. So whether you're afflicted or not, take a look at what we've got - hopefully it'll be of some use to you when the block finally does come a-knockin'.
