The Ugly Truth About Writer's Block

Writer's block is not an occasional obstacle. It's ever-present. Like a lid on a boiling pot. It's gravity. It's entropy. It's a struggle for everybody. (Except maybe bad writers who think everything they write is awesome right out of the gate.) If we writers didn't have the desire to create, to leave something behind, to be read and appreciated, we wouldn't do it. Not even if they put a gun to our head.

Writers HATE writing.

(It's just that we're so bad at everything else.)
