What I mean is, I think a writer can lose confidence in what she or he is doing, or even manage to convince themselves they are not really writers (who hasn't been there), so it's not a true block to creativity, as much as a giving up. Easy to do. Picking an extremely well-written book can often stir the creative juices, and rekindle the original flames that brought you to writing in the first place; a profound love and awe for the power of words!

There are times when I went to the coffee shop without a clear direction on how I wanted to move my story forward, and might even stare at the screen for several minutes, enjoying my coffee. Then finally I would tell myself to write one sentence, no matter how insipid. And if that's all I did that day, well, I had a nice drive and a satisfying coffee. Usually though, just the act of writing one sentence without judgement, would lock me into a couple of hours of incredible writing.

But I have to say, for me writing has never been a chore. Like with my painting and sculpture, I love it and look forward to it, and am so thankful and fortunate to be driven by such creative pursuits!
