How do you deal with writer’s block?

But as I do that, there might be a seed buried in the mud that is worth transplanting somewhere else.
Sometimes we feel that we have to have something to show for our time spent. One day I spent an hour writing something that was going nowhere. You kind of feel cheated and that you wasted a portion of your limited time. But then if you think of it as going to the gym; you exercised. To be writer you have to exercise; you might not have anything of value to keep at the end of your session, but at least you exercised.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Everybod…moreTwo things; first the joy of releasing your imagination to build, paint, and create something beyond the circular track we all are pinned to. Everybody has a track they have to run on to make life happen, you pass the same landmarks over and over. When you write or even read, you escape the circular track.
Second, you get to invite others to come on the journey you have started. Writing is a journey, it has a beginning and it takes us to an end. There is a certain joy sharing the journey with others. They read the same thing you wrote or even the same thing you have read and often they see things different, so not everybody likes your story. But the ones that do brings a smile to the writer's heart; a journey started, a journey finished, a journey enjoyed together.
What if you sat in a room and wrote and wrote, but no one was ever allowed to follow your journey? No one was ever allowed to see what you had written?
They may not like you, they may not like your story; how safe do you want to be? Cowards do not write. (less)
