In writer's block, your mind is blank and you can't think of what to write. In a writing landslide, you have so much information and so many ideas that you can't get your brain around them enough to get some words on the page. I have written about writing landslide and how to overcome it, and I feel like I have become an expert at getting through these kids of landslides. So why am I finding it hard today to follow my own advice? I know what to do: make an outline, break the task into manageable pieces, start with the easiest piece and write. In spite of knowing exactly what to do, I find myself stuck in the intellectual mud.
As with most things, simply acknowledging the problem is the beginning of moving toward the solution. Now it's time to start pulling myself out of the mud and rocks of this landslide and start writing.
