I'm sorry you're in a bad spot right now. You need some "Calgon, take me away", eh?

As for the writer's block, try this. Pretend it's your best friend that has this story stuck in her head but can't get it out. What advice would you give her?

When it happens to me, I just open a Word doc and put all my ideas down as bullet points. No structure, no order, no flow, nothing. This usually helps to get my mojo flowing. Then I let it sit and come back to it a little later and just focus on grouping like-ideas together. Then making complete sentences. Small steps in small portions. Before you know it, you're looking at something close to an actual article/story. lol. The baby steps really add up to a long walk in pretty short order.
Thanks for this!
