When 'writer's block' hits...

     I've been working on my resume the last couple of days, really trying to spruce it up... make it not so darn boring. I hate sounding like a robot... I want prospective employers to see my "potential to grow" (yes, I said that in a shady salesman voice) not my potential to rust and break down. Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to figure out just how to sum up yourself (and previous jobs) in just a few words.

     Honestly, I feel like I'm back in college. I've hit a block. Luckily, college taught me how to break through those blocks.
     Way #1: Keep writing. Even if it's nonsense. Eventually, something of worth will make it from your brain onto the paper.
     Way #2: Walk away. Thinking about other things and talking to other people for a while will help you find another way to the desired goal.
     Way #3: Have a snack. Let's face it... sometimes a girl's just hungry.
     Way #4: Dance! Sounds crazy, but this was my second most effective way throughout my time at school to break through those writing blues. Music helps - and so does moving!

     If you haven't guessed, I'm currently taking a few dance breaks.

     Here's a couple of songs I'm currently getting my 'groove on' to:

Sometimes even grown-ups need to sing, dance, and be crazy!



So next time you need some motivation and some inspiration, get your tushie off the couch and shake it around a bit. (Or wiggle, bounce, do the chicken dance... whatever appeals to you.)
