I've never had writer's block. That does NOT mean...
a) That it's not sometimes difficult to come up with ideas.
b) That I don't get "stuck" in a manuscript.
c) That I don't bash my head against the desk for 45 minutes searching for the proper adjective.
But as far as actual writer's block, where you sit there and stare at a blank screen and just can't summon any words...it hasn't happened. Quite possibly it helps that I'm almost always working on multiple projects, so I can bounce around and keep my enthusiasm up. Although, almost invariably, it will be the projects WITHOUT the scary looming deadline that I most feel like working on at any given moment.
