Not too long ago I talked about writer’s block and how I had it though it’s not normally a problem with me.
That time with writer’s block taught me something. That sometimes there’s a reason your mind refuses to go further and your imagination stops working.
When I finally decided I couldn’t continue with the story as I’d outlined it and looked for another way around the block, everything became easy and the writing just flowed.
Maybe because the way I’d originally seen the story was wrong and the new, different way was the way it should have been all along.
So maybe when writer’s block strikes we should stop fretting and pay attention. Because maybe — just maybe — it’s trying to tell us something and we should listen.
