Writer’s Block Doesn’t Exist
Seriously, it’s not a thing.
Every so often, I sit down at the computer to write and feel like something is stopping me. It’s as if there is a wall built up between my brain and my hands, and as hard as I try, my brain will not make my fingers work.
Whether I’m working on a blog post or current fiction work in progress, I hit a block from time to time.
Maybe you’ve felt this too. Most writers have.
Where you sit down at your desk and don’t have anything you feel you can write. Or that you want to write.
So you get up, you walk away from your desk. You go and read or do chores or watch Netflix, and tell yourself that you can’t write today because you have writer’s block.
Writing is one of the few professions where it is acceptable not to show up and do your job.
Well, maybe I shouldn’t say acceptable, but it is widely understood that writers can get writer’s block that can keep them from producing words. I have never understood the concept of writer’s block in the context of it being a job.
Do you think a plumber can call in and be like “Sorry, I’m not coming to work today, I have plumbers block?” Their boss is probably going to call them…
