Am I allowed to say I don’t suffer from writer’s block?
When I started to think about writer’s block, I didn’t think I suffered from it.
Similarly, I don’t think I ever get “bored”. Because only boring people get bored, right? What is there in this world to be bored about, for goodness sake?
Tired? Yes, I definitely get tired. Depressed or lethargic? Check. But not bored.
So what about writer’s block? Am I being unfair by viewing it in the same negative way as “being bored”?
What is writer’s block anyway? Is it just when you can’t think of anything to write about? If so, I don’t get writer’s block. There is always something to write about.
Whether I have the motivation to write about something is a different matter, though.
So if I’m tired or stressed or struggling to decide what to write about because there is so much to write about, do any of those count as writer’s block?
If so, then yes I’ll confess to being a sufferer of writer’s block.
What about you? How do you define writer’s block?
Or should we all just leave this topic of conversation behind in case it’s contagious and we all end up with chronic writer’s block?
If I get no comments on this post, I’ll have my answer!
