I have been consumed with finishing my second book, Shaping Public Opinion: How Real Advocacy Journalism Should Be Practiced From Walter Lippmann, which is due to the publisher this month. So, I have not had a lot of spare time to read the books on my list:
The Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn (in progress)
Life Without Lack by Dallas Willard (completed)
Oracle by Jonathan Cahn (just beginning)
The Source of Self-Regard by Toni Morrison (will begin soon)
Beloved by Toni Morrison (started, but not very far into it)
Now that my book is very near completion, I should have more time to read. :)

We all experience writer's block. It is a hazard of the business. Over the years, I have tried several things with success. One of the best things I find, especially if I am writing an article or book, is to stop writing in the middle of a sentence. When I resume, it forces me to think/rethink the continuation and development of what I am writing.
When it comes to writing shorter pieces, like my online commentary, I open a blank page and begin writing WHATEVER thoughts I have. Some meaningful topic or thought always emerges.
Other times, when I just can't get in the groove, I read, clean my house or do some other chore that I have put off and allow my mind to "free float," think freely.
One or the other approaches usually get me going, back to my craft.
