I’ve got lots of projects going on, so that’s one thing I’d advise. The idea of “a block” means there is a wanting and something preventing fulfillment. You can skip all that if you allow yourself to write when you are at your most creative. If you are a morning person, then allow yourself that time to do it. If a night person then do it. Not doing it during peak makes you blocked when you are not in your peak frame of mind. You won’t be blocked if creativity comes to you and you are open to it. That means writing on a notepad or index card in a crowded place when you think of something. If you don’t feel like writing, then don’t . That’s not a block. The other thing I’d say is what I’ve recently heard and always have done anyway. That is refill the well. Go for a walk, go to a museum, go to a shopping mall, and take some notes, or at least make some observations as a writer. So for me, I’ve got a few solutions to writer’s block that prevent it from occurring in the first place. Oh, read a lot. That’s inspiring to get you to write. (less)

As soon as you say that you are labeling yourself, and setting up a whole bunch of expectations and creating a persona. You risk a lot of ego, and then you may not be a good writer on account of it. I saw a baseball cap that reads, in courier typeface of course, “Writer.” Then, what you do is more about acting like you are a writer, instead of actually writing. So the best thing about being a writer for me is that I’ve given myself permission to write, and it’s unconditional. There’s a good book on this called The Right to Write, by Julia Cameron. She explains a lot of it in detail, how we are stifled with the pressure of writing perfectly or not at all. Once you allow yourself to write for the sheer joy of it, because you love it, because you have to do it, because it’s like breathing, then that’s the best thing about being a writer. What’s the best thing about an orange cranbury muffin? Well, eating it. Same thing. What’s the best thing about living? Um… being alive. The best thing about being a writer is writing.(less)
