Yolanda A. Reid
I don’t get writer’s block. I have so many ideas for novels, stories, or essays.
However, on occasion, I will take a break between writing/book projects. During that time, I read and re-read my own writings, either the most recent or previous writings I shelved for one reason or another. Re-reading leads to revising. Recently, I revised a short story I wrote and shelved years ago. I’ve since decided that it was good, and that I ought to submit it for publication. However, I’ve found that sometimes I’m so attached to a story/novel that I want to keep it to myself.
