I've recently downloaded an app called Unblock on my Ipad. It's my favorite app, so far i've bought three stacks of cards, Discovery, The daily Habit and Creativity. I know not everyone has an Apple product, and i'm not sure if Android has this app, so this is the Creativity stack of cards. I don't own any of this. I hope this helps out anyone who's been having writer's block.
