If you're a writer, you sit down and write."

As a professional writer, you really should generally move beyond being blocked. If you're out of ideas, pursue them by reading books.

No doubt, however, not everyone is as tough-minded and disciplined as Elmore. Starting a project is the hardest time for me, the time I'm most likely to distract myself or get frustrated or research too much (and then get distracted in the research), etc. Every so often maybe your intuition is trying to tell you something, and if you meditate and listen and maybe even write about what's holding you up, you can break through the block. Write your way through it. As Frost says, "The only way out is through." (less)

If it's just yourself, that's fine and therapeutic, and depending on circumstances and ambition and how much you read, you can even get quite good at it. But if it's an audience you're after, then you should think about writing for them.(less)
