At least, that's how I try to deal with it. For me, writer's block usually means I'm overthinking my story, I'm stressed about something, or I'm bored with what I'm doing. It helps to get space from my project and come back to it in a fresher state of mind.(less)

Treat writing and storytelling as a craft and study it. Creating anything is scary, and even if you do it for years, you'll always feel like you're having to push yourself. Be honest about your strengths and weaknesses every step of the way. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you have to write fast or write heaps - you don't. Likewise, don't fall into the trap of thinking you're writing when you're actually not.(less)

“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”

“The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.”
Harlan Ellison

Harlan Ellison
“I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. Greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. For without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty. And without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned.
Adult. You have become adult.”
Harlan Ellison, Paingod and Other Delusions

Harlan Ellison
“Writing a novel is like going a great distance to take a small shit.”
Harlan Ellison
