There's no such thing as a writer's block. If you're having trouble writing, well, pick up the pen and write. No matter what, keep that hand moving. Writing is really a physical activity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I haven't had trouble with writer's block. I think it's because my process involves writing very badly. My first drafts are filled with lurching, cliched writing, outright flailing around. Writing that doesn't have a good voice or any voice. But then there will be good moments.
I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block.
Many times, what people call 'writer's block' is the confusion that happens when a writer has a great idea, but their writing skill is not up to the task of putting that idea down on paper. I think that learning the craft of writing is critical.
There's no writer's block; there's only distraction.
Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.
Keep your hands moving. Writing is rewriting.
I don't remember ever having writer's block. If I sit in there for four hours, I'll usually have something.
If you do enough planning before you start to write, there's no way you can have writer's block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline.
I don't believe in writer's block. Think about it - when you were blocked in college and had to write a paper, didn't it always manage to fix itself the night before the paper was due? Writer's block is having too much time on your hands.
I'm a little harsh. When people say, 'I have writers block. What do you suggest?' I say, 'If you can't write, don't write. No one needs your writing. Don't torture yourself.'
