I think I’ve mentioned before (probably many times by now) that I don’t believe in Writers Block. I don’t think it’s “a thing”… there are days writing is easier and days that it is harder, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a time where writing was impossible.
If I can’t make progress on one thing, I just work on a different thing. If I can’t write an important essay, I can work on my latest novel, and if I can’t do that I can write a short story, or just daydream different novels I want to write later and maybe start getting groundwork started for them… and so on, and so forth, etc.
Currently the novel I’m working on has hit a bit of a blockage. The part I need to write next is just… not coming. The flow has stopped, and as a result the novel is doomed… or, you know, I can do what I normally do: write “GOAT CHEESE” in big letters between square brackets, skip this part for now, and then come back to it later to finish up. Why bother getting Writers Block when you can just… write?
So that’s the plan. Leave this chapter I am working on right now which is like pulling teeth, and then come back to it once I have written everything else around it. We’ll see how that goes!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
