Editor's Note
Recently the urge to begin writing my own novel has started to kick in, and this time I think its staying put. These urges come around ever so often but after exploring ideas of what story I want to tell that hasn't already been told always leaves me hanging. Writers block is something that most writers struggle with but this month it seemed an especially nagging block just loming over my head.
I sat down to research the most common ways to get over writers block and the inspiration hit me, that should be a section in this month's issue. Writers everywhere are having the same sort of trouble and what if there was a place where ideas flowed through out the month, always something new, and inspiring. Thus the writersBlock section of this magazine was created.
This Month's Issue is our first launch of the new section so there will be articles, helpful hints and even activites you can launch yourself into to explore the different possiblities of overcoming the dreaded writersBlock. Hope you all enjoy!
