writer's block

So I was reading Jacks blog, hi Jack, and he mentioned having writers block which put me in mind of a book, of all things. This is Jessie by the way. The book that came to mind is Lynda Barry's What It Is. Lynda Barry is a brilliant (in my opinion) writer who uses drawings and a collage style in her books. What It Is is all about unlocking what's in your mind and getting it down on paper. It's full of short excersises to get your creative juices flowing. Anyone can write. You don't have to make a living at it or even do it particularly well. Just start doing it. Even if no one ever sees a page of it. You can do it just for you, and Lynda can help you get started. I would also recommend her book 100 Demons. Did I mention she's brilliant?
