An exercise I've offered students in the past:

- dim the lights around you
- read or listen to someone read an unfamiliar poem out loud
- write, in spontaneous response to it, without thinking/stopping, for 10 minutes

I'd use Lisel Mueller's "Moon Fishing" http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/lisel_mueller/poems/15573

Any other writers on here struggling to get back into the habit this week? I’ve spent a lot of time staring at an empty page lately. If you’ve got any tips or tricks for getting your brain unstuck, I’d love to hear them. #amwriting #writingcommunity
