This is something every writer experiences.  It has certainly been my problem in the last month.  I’ve been productive, to be sure.  I’ve got a little stack of blog articles, two or three almost finished short stories, even a book chapter that just needs another 400 words.  But, for whatever reason, nothing gets finished.

This blog article will lay out some techniques that can help when you are having trouble finishing.  They are all things that have worked for me in the past.  This is for when you have bits of work that just needs that last push, but every time you boot up the computer you find yourself scribbling notes for another project or starting off that short story idea you had in the shower and BAM – the day is over and nothing is finished.

I’m hoping writing about these ideas will help break my block.  With a bit of luck it will help you as well.
