I've never had writer's block. Maybe this is because when I'm not hooked into a story that I'm writing, I'm editing something I've finished.

While I write, I'm watching the scene as if through a magic camera that can zoom right down into a character's thoughts, then writing down what I experience. I'm not concerned about the grammar, style or readability, I'm concerned about capturing everything accurately. So maybe this avoids me loosing focus and getting blocked.

Writing is like growing the beautiful, gnarled and twisted piece of wood that later, as an editor, I'm going to carve a story out of.(less)

Caring about my impact on others really limits my behavior, but in a fictional world chaos can reign, hilarity ensues. (less)

Camera Head

A picture of a person whose head has been replaced by a movie camera.

Any reader who immerses themselves in the world of their story will know when the author has failed to do so before them. Signs such as closed doors later banging shut and similar inconsistencies will add up. It is something the reader feels rather than figures out, and it thwarts their efforts to imagine the world they are in.
When I write, immersion is achieved through the metaphor of a camera.
