Beat Writer’s Block with Email Drafts

If you’re constantly nagged by writer’s block or struggle to find the motivation to start your work, the LifeClever weblog has a tip to help you get started.

In addition to being more convenient and relieving pressure, LifeClever argues that using email to begin your work helps make your writing more concise and sound more conversational.
