Writer's Block

I read a lot of articles on how to help author's with writer's block. I have never had such a problem. My empty brain is filled with crapola that helps me move along. Most of the time I have a complete story in my mind. I use this to draw up a rough framework but not a strict outline. It's like the ideas are a skeleton and the story fills in the meat and organs. I usually plug along, even if I know the writing is crap. I just go back later and edit it out or prune the words. I probably have a good dozen books and ideas roaming around in my head. My advice if you have writer's block is to go for a walk, write anything even if it's crap, or change your medium to pencil, pen, typewriter, EST.
