Overcoming Writer's Block

In August, I almost finished a report. Then, for a number of reasons, the report got pushed to the side and every time that I tried to revisit it, I quickly pushed it to the side again. I just couldn't figure out what I wanted the rest of the report to say. Sometimes I even considered gutting it and starting over. I sent the report to my boss for feedback a couple of times and never seemed to get a response (so I felt justified in placing it on the back burner). However, I recently met with my boss and explained my situation. My boss, who happens to be a very helpful person, suggested that we set up a meeting between the two of us to talk about this project. Immediately after the meeting, I came back to my desk and took a look at the report. All of the sudden the task no longer seems daunting. Words and ideas are coming to me again. It would seem that a good conversation about a project can be an effective way to remove the dam that is writer's block.
