Writer's block is a complicated psychological affair that cannot be done justice In a few lines.
Having said that, however, I will say that writing every day is an excellent component to the work of getting beyond it. Even if one only anticipates garbage to come out, that is fine. Just keep writing garbage.
At some point you may stop writing garbage. You may not, too. But that is not the point.
The point is to discover and re-discover play.
Certainly there is importance to developing our systems of work. However, one can easily get lost in crafting conditions to be "just right". They never are. The vision of perfection is a poorly drawn, fragile map that cannot represent reality.
We can guide play into mastery and meaningful work, but first there must be play to guide. Writing daily is a practice of play regardless of conditions.
