Writer’s Block

There’s no writer’s block.  What’s going on is going on deep below the surface of your consciousness. 

You’re trying to make a seed break through the crust of the soil and have a leaf. 

But it’s not ready; it’s doing whatever the seed is doing way down there, getting ready to do it, and that’s what’s going on.

Writer’s block is essentially the critic in your head saying, ‘That’s no good,’ before it even gets anywhere. 

This voice that’s so critical, that you believe, cause it’s your voice, gets in the way of problem solving on a real level.

That voice doesn’t have any more insight than some people who have the opposite who have a voice who tells them they’re a genius.

~Paul Simons—American singer/songwriter
