Writer’s Block Declared Dead

By Patsi Krakoff in Managing Your Ezine & Blog Tasks, Writing Better Ezines, Writing Great Blog Content, Writing Great Copy, Writing Great Press Releases

Great post over at the ezinearticles.com blog. Jeff Herring, the Article Guy, proclaims writer’s block doesn’t exist.

He says, "My position is that writer’s block does not exist. I believe people get caught up in it because it sounds so cool, and makes you sound like a writer. ‘Oh, I have writer’s block’ etc. Do you know anyone that runs? Have they ever had runner’s block? They might not have felt like running, but they ran any way.”

And Chris Knight responds, "For me, I have so many articles or writing ideas floating in my head at any given moment that all it usually takes is for me to stop, sit down at the keyboard and release my ideas. Usually, I’ll have a core idea or theme that has been brewing in my head before I even sit down to write the next article, blog entry or email newsletter issue.

"I know that writers who fail to plan or fail to setup an environement that supports their article writing goals (if they have them) are more prone to feelings of writers block.

"Perhaps if EzineArticles were Nike, instead of JUST DO IT, our slogan would be, JUST WRITE IT! "

I suggest the slogan proposed by Andy Wibbels: "Shut up and write!"
