This is my chosen work.

If I'd chosen welding, no one would let me walk around saying I have welding block.

That said, I have heard a much more experienced writer than myself, Peter Straub, say he had a similar position on writer's block until he got it himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjz0A...

So, I reserve the right to reverse my position later.(less)

Quotes by Jim Hodgson  (?)

“The man dropped to the ground and began rolling over and over again in the dirt, but it was no use. The flames had taken hold. He would be dead any second. Ozel focused again and conjured a vial of healing potion. He ran into the clearing. “Here!” he yelled. “Drink this at once. Healing potion!” He thrust the vial at the man, who sat up and threw his charred, smoking hood back from his face. It revealed a horrific visage. His hair was all burned off, as were his lips. His eyes were still in his sockets, but they rolled around like something out of the worst dream imaginable.”
Jim Hodgson, Apprentice Quest
