Novelist's odd way of getting inspired

Writer's block is a difficult situationfor both veteran and aspiring writers. When it strikes, most writers go crazy and some even to the extremes.

Best selling Author of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown, has revealed how he tackles the situation by hanging himself upside down.

Taking to Sunday Times, the successful author of many books has said that when he lacks inspiration to write, he straps himself into a piece of gym equipment that can be turned upside down, the Daily Mail reports.

The 48-year old writer has said that he does the inspiration trick at his home in New Hampshire, UK.

"It does help. You've just got to relax and let go. The more you do it the more the more you let go. And then soon it's just wow," he said in an interview with the Sunday Times.

This inversion therapy, according to experts, can improve concentration and memory as it increases the blood flow to the brain.

The revelation about his bizarre self motivation style has come to light as the author is heading to release his new novel, Inferno.

The book is the latest of his series featuring symbology expert Rober Langdon. The book is expected to be another bestseling hit.

Brown's books have previously been translated into 52 languages and as of last year had sold more than 200 million copies combined.

But a word of caution, dear aspiring writers! Don't try such stunts, because they can be risky. Writing comes spontaneously. It is just a happening with no external laws applicable to it.
