Well, I remember you being there--but then again, I could be wrong!

Dogged persistence. A writer's most important quality is tenacity. As long as you still believe in the project, keep going—even if you appear to be making no progress. Ultimately, it all depends on what kind of writer you are. Some writers are more prone to blockage than others. I've found after years of experiment that I'm not one of these "300 word a day" writers. I might have zero words on some days--but I'm researching and outlining-- and then, when the dam finally bursts, 5,000 words on another day. When the words start coming, let them come. Despite being prone to writer's block, I've produced 9 books. So it's not a crippling issue if you keep going.
