If you can't write an article..

If you can't write an article just write a sentence; If you can't write a sentence just write a word; and then another word next to it and then try to find a link between these words.
Imagine a story about the words you have written; If you can't imagine one just start typing and finally you will find something meaningful.
Delete the words that don't make any sense and keep only the words that are somehow linked to each other.

Find an image, stare at it for a long time; tear it apart and go to sleep.
Drink some coffee; have a shower; shout; talk to yourself; talk to things around you.
Walk your dog; you may find a story hovering around the park; you may find one in a piece of paper being blown away by the wind.

If you have no idea what to write just hold your pen; or your keyboard; smell it; kiss it. It may feel compassion towards you and give you some ideas.

If you're tired and you don't know what to write just put your pen in your bed; cover it with a blanket; turn the lights of; sneak out of the bedroom so as not to wake it up; and get yourself a psychiatrist because you are absolutely mad!
