A travel writer playing golf on a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course in Cabo was struck by lightening. From a physical standpoint, she was all right. Her mind was another thing. Apparently, her mind became sharper than ever. She would soon find herself on the road to greatness!

The travel writer suffered from horrible writer’s block. She used all of the known methods to cure writer’s block such as listening to music, going for a walk, meditation and yoga, and some other methods. No matter what she did her writer’s block would not subside. She lived with writer’s block for quite some time which is why she gave herself a vacation to Cabo.

While playing a fantastic round of golf in Cabo, the travel writer noticed the sky turning a wicked shade of gray. She was close to finishing her game and was not ready to call it a day. As luck would have it, the skies opened up and a torrential downpour came upon her. The thunder echoed and the wind whipped around her in a violent manner.

She started to run for cover when lightening struck her down like a rag doll! When she woke up, her mind raced and filled with many ideas. “My God,” she thought to herself, “my writer’s block is gone.” She quickly took out her pen and small notebook and began to list her ideas. As she was writing, an antidote for writer’s block entered her mind. She brushed herself off, got to her hotel, turned on the laptop, and began to write a brilliant piece on writer’s block. The travel writer’s piece was featured in National Geographic. She now lives in Cabo.
