Writer's block is like when someone who has written a good bit before goes years without being able to come up with ideas or get anything real down on the page. I'm not sure how I view that opinion, but that's what I remind myself when I feel stuck.<br /><br />Another reason I think writer's block (or whatever) pops is might be because you're over-thinking something. At the moment I'm trying to write some of the "fun scenes" to give myself a break - but I'm over thinking the relationship between the two characters and I'm not letting it grow organically in the story... if that makes sense. Also, for me, I need to go back and reread the good parts and get that hold of the characters that I had before.<br /><br />I love all of your insights and totally admire your dedication. I know you work hard at school (both as teacher and student) and I just really admire how fantastic your work ethic is.

But I need to CHOOSE to prioritize it again. I like the idea about scheduling writing time into your planner. I'm going to try that.fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.com
