If you're a writer, the insight of other writers - if there's some kind of Holy Grail message on how to deal with writer's block or how to deal with any problem that can come up - whether you're writing about yourself or a group of people, I find that very interesting.

I spend days with writers' block. It is a problem.

And when I'm writing, I write a lot anyway. I might write pages and pages of conversation between characters that don't necessarily end up in the book, or in the story I'm working on, because they're simply my way of getting to know the characters.

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.

I'm constantly battling writer's block; it usually takes me two hours to write anything.

I try to think of it not as writer's block, but a time where you just need to live life and experience things so you have something to write about.

I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block.

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

There's no writer's block; there's only distraction.

There's no such thing as writer's block. I'm brilliant all the time every day. It never stops.
