"Ridged Rules"

    I define writer's block as, when your writing an essay and your on a roll, then all of a sudden your mind goes blank. You have no idea what to write about, and you just sit there staring at your essay trying to come up with something, but you cant think of anything. And once you think of something, you cant phrase it in a way it makes sense. I deal with writer's block at least once with every essay I write. Mike Rose thinks of writer's block as, that frustrating, self-defeating inability to generate the next line, the right phrase, the sentence that will release the flow of words once again.
According to Mike Rose some main rules that may cause writer's block are, problem-solving,  introductory period, processing period, and solution period. I think for me, i have most trouble with the solution period. I think I have trouble with this rule because, I stress when I cant think of something to write in my essay. These rules are rigid because, in my opinion some people might have a really hard time with writer's block, and might not know how to deal with it. According to me and Rose to overcome the rigid rules, a writer should make a plan. Find ways to overcome them.  For me, I sometimes need to step away from my work for a little to clear my stress. Or sometimes I wold listen to music to try to get inspired.
