Jason Mashak I don't get writer's block. When you write for a living, you have to pay the bills. I can't tell the landlord or gas company, "Sorry, I've got nothing for you, as I've been blocked." Start with a grocery list or a postcard/email and then just keep it going.
Jason Mashak Read, analyze, read, analyze... make lists... read, highlight or mark passages some other way, keep reading, analyzing... and carry a notebook and pen at all times, considering that maybe 15% of what goes into it may ever be usable (on a good day), but realizing that the practice develops the craft. Oh, and don't forget to READ (a lot of 'writers' forget this part).
