Great post. I loved that part of the quote, “write yourself out of a thinking block”. Excellent advice.
Thanks, LuAnne, glad you liked it. And the idea that you have to write your way out of thinking block is my daily reality. : )
I agree – I think writer’s block is a stupid concept. You might struggle to write anything good, but that is what revision is for.
Exactly, or maybe precisely, or hmm…. 😉
