21 ways I get out of the writing doldrums

I live in a city with many fine attributes: the weather is mild, the mountains are beautiful, the beaches spectacular. But for every good point, there are also bad ones. That mild weather often translates into torrential rain and seemingly endless grey skies. (We once had a house-guest from Korea staying with us for the month of February. She didn’t believe Vancouver actually had mountains because the city was so socked in for 28 days and she didn't have a peek at any peaks.) 

When the grey skies drag down my spirits — particularly my writing spirits — and I need an immediate boost, I know better than to trust “chance” to give it to me. Here are 21 ways I get out of the doldrums and persuade myself to start writing again.

We’re all unique individuals so we’ll each have our own activities that will help us feel happier, more energetic and more like writing. Take the time to create your own list of what works for you. Then, USE that list to help give yourself the boosts you need.
