How do you deal with writer’s block?

That's not an issue for me because I know the progression of my story from beginning to end before I start to write. But a form of writer's block- loss of motivation- arises for me after I've fully developed the story in my head over a long period of time and then I've lost the inspiration to put it down on paper. I've had several ideas for books like this that, once I figured them out and told them to someone, I felt satisfied with the creative process and unmotivated to actually do the hard work of writing. So the way to deal with this is to just shut up and write. Even if it's not the greatest or most inspired writing. Just write. You can fix everything in post.(less)

That's one of the greatest feelings in the world. It validates a lot of the labor that goes into creating it in the first place.(less)

Quotes by Kyle Jones (?)

“There are many fair places in heaven, and over everything there a godlike watch is kept. A hall stands there, fair, under the ash by the well, and out of that hall come three maids.... [T]hese maids determine the period of men's lives: we call them Norns; but there are many norns: those who come to each child that is born, to appoint his life.” Prose Edda, Gylfaginning, Snorri Sturlson, translated by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur ”
― Kyle Jones, The Norns' Quest
