block; typically the solution is just to write --about anything at all,
not caring about subject, theme, or any particular goal. The writer James
Thurber called the end product of this type of exercise "mud", which I
think is a good term for the text-babble. While writing mud is a good way
for me to flush out ideas for a poem's inner workings, it does not always
help me break writer's block. I usually rely on various other kinds of
inspiration to get me started, and then I am able to write the mud.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9E66ACF1-1CC2-4561-9255-79ABF64B8734/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
