Stuck? Not for long when you try these remedies for creativity on call.
1. Go somewhere else. One of my clients hops a train whenever she has a deadline and writes on board.
2. Freewrite. Right this second, copy the following starter phrase and keep writing nonstop wherever it leads you: "What I really want to say in this piece is..."
3. Change your medium. If you've been stuck writing at the computer, sit down with a pad of paper or even a grocery bag. If you've been trying with a pen, try crayons.
4. Take a rest. Sometimes you're just trying too hard. Sleep on it and in the morning you'll feel in the mood for a fresh start.

10. Visualize. Close your eyes and imagine your book or report completed, with a beautiful cover. In your mind's eye, open it and begin reading. Write down what it says.
