Can you name a phrase that every writer fears? Try “Writer’s Block”.
We writers all have
a deep-seated fear when we hear those two words side by side. Writer’s
Block—those should be forbidden to speak together.
We have quite a
number of pro writers who claim there’s no such things as Writer’s Block, and
I’m one of them—but I will admit that I find myself refusing to write or
avoiding my desk or just stuck on a story. Distractions and disruptions occur,
and before we know it, weeks—not days, weeks—have passed. With few words
written, our writing plans are blown. Guilt descends—and the clouds of guilt
and disappointment and dismay and more disrupters descend and . . . gosh, we
don’t even want to think about it.
That’s the purpose
of this series: we want to Defeat that Writer’s Block.
To do that, we have
to look more closely at Writer’s Block than we want to.
