Here we go then: 1) Don't fight it, switch off and relax your brain for a while, even just watching some easy viewing tele or socialising 2) Use Twitter. Follow industry related people / magazines / organisations / fellow writers and bloggers.

AuthorBlogging is an amazing concept so here I am giving it a whirl. You'll get words. You'll get pics. Sometimes a vid or two.
