When you write on a schedule, there's no such thing as writer's block. It's not allowed to exist. When it's time to write, it's time to bloody well write, and you put words on the page.
It doesn't matter if it's not your best work. That's what drafts are for.
"When it's time to write, it's time to bloody well write, and you put words on the page."
Amen to that. When they pay you by the hour, the word "writers block" is not in their vocabulary.
I just say: Fake it till you make it. Just keep pushin them participles around till somethin jells.
Eventually it will.
The way I heard it best was, "Give yourself permission to suck."
