How do you deal with writer’s block?

Poetry,…moreI remove myself from the immediacy of the primary works. I write only what comes into my mind. Scattered and without a primary aim or purpose. Poetry, essays or words of passion inflamed. Andre Breton's automation writing is the most useful tool to purge self-censorship and overly critical consciousness towards writing. The main thing is to step out from the planned sphere of writing, wash out the stress by giving creativity space to fulfill everything it pleases and humbly return inside the storm of the sphere.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

All that I am is a writer in minute degrees. As a Finnish author who has taken upon himself to write in English, it has to be the learning of the philosophy and the emotional tones of the English language. It has three times the amount of words with emotional specificity that I feel myself more like a composer than an author. The thrill and the reward is to compose the thoughts into the aesthetics of my theory of art. A symphony of visualizations played out by the instruments of the words. And being in the middle of that artistic experience as a mere conductor is what sums up the totality of my being a writer.

This question gives me the opportunity to apologize about my grammatical errors. I want to be as the great authors of the past were. Without editors who would make Charles Dickens' and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's works something they were not originally created as. Where was the proofreader of Homer or Aristotle? The editor of William Shakespeare or Christopher Marlowe? I see nothing more than censorship and greed of the publishers to deny the challenge of learning the fine points of language. It is one of the best things about being a writer to reclaim the virtue and talent that belonged to the greatest before us. (less)
