Wednesday Wondering: writer's block

[image error] Okay, I've heard about writer's block for ages. I honestly don't think there's an author out there who hasn't :) It's not something I have had a whole lot of struggles with, though it hits from time to time. That whole staring at a blank page and going "ugh, why is this so hard?" Or my personal favorite "ugh, everything on this page sucks, why am I bothering?" I seem to get that last one a lot...

So, yeah, I'm curious about those writers who follow this blog: what gives you writer's block? And what do you do about it? I try and tell myself that if I can just get through ten minutes, I can quit, but I have to put in the ten minutes. Of course, by the end of the ten, I'm usually feeling some energy and willing to keep going. Sometimes at least :)

Though, lately, finding even a spare ten minutes is a struggle. But, yeah, won't go there...

Anyhow, I always love hearing about other's writing process, so let me know what you think and how you deal. I'm curious! And if you're not a writer, I think writer's block hits in other forms, like procrastinating a big project (because, really, in some ways that's what writer's block is, in some instances at least).

I'm all ears! (Or eyes, since I'm reading this...yeah, welcome to random this Wednesday!)
