Trevor D. Richardson
I like the rich, privileged American approach to the problem: I just pretend it doesn't exist and go on with my life.
I don't believe in letting anything happen to me in my writing life. It is my writing, it is my skill, and I don't believe in "waiting for my muse" or trying to get inspired. I view writing as a skill set, a muscle, and I have trained that muscle to the point that writing is something I can do as naturally as riding a bike.
When the story is not going quite right, instead of staring at a blank screen, I write too much. I over write and then cut down afterward, not unlike the way movies are filmed and then edited down.
I don't believe in writer's block.
