Hope you got going by now Hil! I´ve found too that tv is a total no-no for it drains your creativity as it sucks your attention. There´s simply no free energy left! Music feeds imagination, doesn´t it!

When I get a writer´s block (which I do often), it sometimes help to close my eyes and think of the persons or conditions I´m to write about. I picture them as vividly as possible and then I try to "see" what they are doing or "listen" to what they might want to tell me. Just a tip which has helped me.

There´s only a few days left, I feel a bit stressed but will see what I can cook up! Wadj, do you mean you got three or more different ways for your story? It´s a great idea to write them all and how about writing one open-ended and let others finish it? :) I love that plaque too!
