OMG Sherlock fanfic has swallowed my soul, seriously, it's good if I can remember to do things like laundry and dishes. The worst thing is I think the more I read the more intimidated I get about being able to write myself. I mean I used to be pretty good but now I look at things I produce and I hate everything I produce. I'm locked up with both writer's block and artist's block and it's really, really annoying.

Especially since I have an upcoming deadline to make :(

Any suggestions for getting past said blocks would be very welcome.

Milton Erickson was a brilliant psychiatrist who was able to cure people of things like agrophobia in four visits or less. He said that there really isn't such a thing as a block. He once cured a man of terror of elevators by having a sexy girl stand in for the elevator operator and hit on the man. The man was so flustered that his desire to complete the elevator ride overwhelmed his fear.

Just write, even if it's twenty pages about how you don't want to write anything.
