Writer's Block

Being a writer means having to write, I understand that, but there are times when I just want to take the computers and all the pens and pencils and toss them out the window. Go find a job flipping burgers or something. I am, of course, talking about writer's block. That annoying point in every writer's career where they can't think of what it is that they are supposed to be writing about and every effort to think about what they are supposed to be writing about leads only to another mindless game of solitaire on the computer. There are reasons why I removed all of the games from my work computers, that's the primary one.

I have done everything I can to avoid having to write. Clean the hallway, wash the dishes, trim the dog's toenails, organize the cubby where I keep my briefcases... I'm going to go slowly insane and still be plagued by the "You should have been writing" demons. So, the cure? Write. Forget the dishes, forget the dog's feet, forget the hallway, put the backside to the chair and write. Worry about if it is any good when I do my revisions.

I doubt it'll work, but it's a plan. What do you do when you are overcome by writer's block?
