Please help 1. Sting outlines the struggle he faced with writer's block after many successful
years of songwriting. How does Sting describe the emotions that accompany
writer's block? Describe a similar experience you've had to overcome.
2. Although unit 2 does not specifically offer methods for overcoming writer's
block, you did learn about ways to inspire creativity. Did Sting utilize any of the
advice mentioned in unit 2 to overcome his writer's block? Explain how his
efforts were effective.
3. Unit 2 discusses the power that ordinary and everyday things can have in terms
of creativity. This idea relates to how Sting broke through his writer's block.
Taking this idea of using the power of everyday things a bit further, what was
surprising (or even ironic) about how Sting's childhood upbringing was integral
to his success?
