Writer's Block
Hey all!
I have just a short note on the concept of writer's block.
It is a figment of your imaginations. Or perhaps I should restate that: it is a function of your imaginations.
When we as writers cease to imagine, we cease to function as writers. We fall back, as it were, into the mundane world.
It is a temporary, although sometimes problemsome, occurence from which every writer at one point or another suffers.
Take a few breaths, stretch and rethink what the story is all about that you are trying to tell. The mental colon will unclog itself perforce.
Best,
M.

Thanks for this message, Mark! You are right on the mark. I believe it is common for writers to hit a roadblock on the flow of the novel we work on. That may require for us to stop and rethink the direction our words should take, which takes time. We sometimes think this means failure, but in reality it's in the same as businessmen re-evaluating their next market decision. Which is to say, we go back to our inspiration to help find the words we seek.
Thanks for the note!
David
