I thought I could give you some good ideas, but now that I'm here looking at the thread and the "Post a Message" box, I can't think of anything to say.

What kind of book are you writing, Crazy Mike? Prose, fiction, factual adventures?

Writers block, don't worry about writing something perfect all the time. Just let it flow and clean it up later.

Briar Rabbit has it right. Just write down (or type) EVERYTHING, no matter how silly it seems - don't worry about grammar or spelling - just get it out of your brain. You can go back and clean it all up later.

Jack Kerouac was the first author to coin the term "sketching with words".

Look at something...mountains, lake, your boots, anything, and then sketch it with words.

You'll be surprised with what you come up with!
