Debra E. Marvin
I think the perception of writer's block is that we can't come up with something to write. That's not true. I think it's the emotional fence we have to climb over every time we struggle. Writing is putting a bit of 'us' on the page and sometimes it's ugly. Writing both saps me out and energizes me. Being blocked for me is an emotional experience of being unprepared to face my shortcomings.
