So long as your fingers work, your mind is ticking, and your imagination is willing you should always be ready and able to write, even if it's just a short story or a two-line stanza of poetry. I've encountered novelists who tell me they've been dealing with writer's block for years and can't get started and I always give them the same answer: That's bullocks! Start with the first sentence even if all you are writing is your rage being poured out to express your frustration. That first sentence will lead to the second and so forth. Writer's block is a way of telling the world that I can't or won't write unless I know for sure that what I'm going to write will be brilliant. Admit it to yourself that your work in the beginning is nothing more than primordial ooze. That's why editors were invented to help transform the primordial ooze into a pile of excrement that is ultimately shaped into a beautiful thing.(less)

Any artist who pours their heart and soul into their work can attest to that feeling when you've accomplished your goal. Sure there are times when self-doubt leaves you pulling your hair out. However, these times are eventually over-shadowed by the whole experience of getting it right, and setting out to do something that no one in the right mind should want to do. LOL(less)
