How do you deal with writer’s block?

Both of them, however, are dealt with in the same manner: write something. Anything.

In my first novel, The Speechwriter, I describe what it feels like to sit down with a pen in hand and not be able to form words. The only solution is to write crap. Eventually your crap will sound alright. That's what you do if you can't make your hands write.

If you cannot force yourself to sit down and write, you let resistance win. If this last sentence didn't mean much to you, stop what you're doing now and go buy Steven Pressfield's book The War of Art. In that book, he reminds us that 'writers block' is just a lack of discipline. Which it is. Writers block is an excuse to not do the hard things.

Now, this answer has been pretty crappy, but at least I wrote something. (My writers block has just evaporated. Leave me alone while I go write).(less)

Types of Love

In his novel, which is known to be the greatest novel of the 19th century, Leo Tolstoy says “there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.” This quote I find to be the best line in the whole novel. It’s been 138 years since he published that book and still, I think everyone needs to pay attention to his words.

My opinion of the novel itself is a different story, but the truth is, this quote Read more of this blog post »

Sid’s Quotes

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
