I don't believe I have ever had writer's block. Maybe it's because I have too much stuff swirling inside my head. It can't help but come spilling out. Also I don't worry about how good it is.

Ayn Rand
“You love your work. God help you, you love it! And thats the curse. That's the brand on your forehead for all of them to see. You love it and they know it, and they know they have you. Do you ever look at the people in the street? Aren't you afraid of them? I am. They move past you and they wear hats and they carry bundles. But that's not the substance of them. The substance of them is hatred for any man who loves his work. That's the only kind they fear. I don't know why”
