What have I learned about writing this week?
It’s hard.
For a while, I thought I had writer’s block.
That’s freaking scary, especially when you are forced to
produce.
Reading helped me break away.
Often I’ll read something really good and react one of two
ways:
- I get jealous. Just
totally envious of how great some writers are. They blow my mind.
Or
- I am moved to write.
Something in what I have read reminds me that I have something important (at
least to me) that I want to say.
Reaction # 1 leads to more reading.
Reaction # 2 causes me to scribble in the margins of what I’m
reading, or close the book altogether and open my notebook or laptop.
How do you break away from writer’s block?
