It's a ridiculous way of describing the fact that somebody doesn't feel like doing something that's at least nominally difficult. Writer's don't need to have their own special brand of "I don't feel like doing hard things today."

Which makes it no different from, say, builder's block when carpenter doesn't feel like getting out of bed and doing his job on a rainy Tuesday morning.

So, the question is really asking how I deal with not feeling like doing something hard. Well, the same way anyone else does. If I have the option of not doing it right then, I don't do it right then. If I don't have that option, I do it anyway, because life is hard, and that's the way it is. (less)

I read this book simultaneously with my mother when I was about 13 years old. It remains one of the most memorable novels of my childhood. Simmons does a great job with the horror genre, but it's his compelling characters that make the story so great ...more

"I can't remember why I added this book to my tbr but I'm so glad I did. Love that it was written by a fellow Buffalonian. I was hooked, especially in the last 100 pages."
