"Writer's Block

Of course, getting started is only half the fun. Over time you'll want to add to your memoirs. But leaving a writing project and returning to it after a week or even a day can derail you. And sometimes, you may simply find yourself staring at a blank screen or sheet of paper, unable to write a word. Relax: Writer's block happens to the best of scribes. Here are some tricks for busting the block and enjoying yourself at the same time.

Write a Letter
Frame your memoir as a letter. Fix a friend or a relative in your mind and write your story to that person. Use your imagination; you can address a person no longer living, or even one as yet unborn -- a future grandchild, perhaps. Imagine, years down the line, what that child will learn just by reading a day-in-the life letter from you.

Shift Your Focus
A written memoir is only part of your legacy to future generations. Think about what else you'd like to pass along with your anecdotes. Photographs are an obvious choice.

For Emmy Gelb, writing a memoir was a chance for her to gather photographs. "I asked relatives if they had any pictures they could give me, and they did -- so I have enough pictures in there with what I'm writing." If you find yourself stuck on a day when the words won't come, focus on something else. If the photographs aren't working, do something completely different from writing or thinking about writing. When you return to the paper or the word processor, you may find yourself with renewed inspiration.

Forge a Paper Chain
Stories can connect families laterally, as well as across generations. A round-robin memoir can be a great way to help you take breaks from the task of writing while sharing memories with siblings, cousins, and other living relatives. Write a little bit about an event you remember, then pass it on to other family members who were there, so each can add her perspective. Your recollections may vary, but that's part of the fun -- and sorting out your differing angles on the facts may give you all a new understanding of the events."

Robin Said:

A good topic to write a journal about corporate financial management?

We Answered:

How about understanding investment banks. Many corporations may have a need to work with an investment bank to manage their finances: issuing stock, issuing bonds, M&A advisory, etc.

Writing about investment banking might be interesting.

Good luck!
