Writer's Block

February 28, 2011

It happens to the best of bloggers.  It happens to the best of writers, and it even strikes at the worst times for students with a five page paper due the day after tomorrow.  I’m talking about that dreaded illness known as writer’s block.  Not to be confused with procrastination, which is plenty of ideas and plenty of things to do but no desire to get things done, writer’s block tends to make an appearance when you need it the least.  But have no fear! The library is here to help!  Here are just a few titles to help bring an end to your block – and maybe even get rid of it all together.
