“I do think that the idea of writer's block can be very self-defeating for most writers because it's taking a lot of things that are not only real problems, but that are manageable, solvable problems if you look at them in an individual fashion, and lumping them under the umbrella of something mysterious and vague, which makes it very, very difficult to address what's going on.” IfsThinkingLooksIdeasRealSelfProblemIndividualDifficultFashionBlockMysteriousAddressesVagueUmbrellaReal ProblemsWriter's BlockManageable Author:Emily Barton
