Find something you put aside a while back (never finished) and get a couple more points down.  Sometimes that helps me get the juices flowing.  Also, having a pathological problem with finishing things I've started, I never lack for material.

I have three different writing projects due in the next three weeks, and my brain just went poof.  I think it's too much stress, but I'm so uninspired.  Sucks.

As your attorney I advise you to drink a bottle of mezcal and proceed immediately to an ounce of dope.

I don't think that would fix my writer's block.  It might make me not care about my writers block though... hmmm.

Actually, I had a pretty good jag today and finished a first draft of the play due soonest.  So now... two more... No, actually I decided two more in 15 days is impossible, especially with these being the busiest days at my other theater job, so I've mushed the two remaining projects together, and now only have to have a partial draft and a funding application about it done by the end of this month, and a rough draft over the next two months, which is a lot less scary.  I'm feeling stress since my first script is about to hit the big time - there's a lot of pressure to make the next project be just as good to sustain the attention to my work, yet what makes something "good" is illusive...  Thankfully the artistic director I'm working with is sane, reasonable and generally brilliant.
