Quote

Sixteen years as a freelance features journalist taught me that neither the absence of 'the Muse' nor the presence of 'the block' should be allowed to hinder the orderly progress of a book.

I've experienced writer's block, but never for more than a few days.

The idea of writer's block or not having inspiration is totally terrifying to me.

I don't believe in writer's block or waiting for inspiration. If you're a writer, you sit down and write.

But I can only write what the muse allows me to write. I cannot choose, I can only do what I am given, and I feel pleased when I feel close to concrete poetry - still.

I've never had writer's block.

I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
