“People have writer's block not because they can't write, but because they despair of writing eloquently.”

“Jane Austen may not be the best writer, but she certainly writes about the best people. And by that I mean people just like me.”

“It is wonderful how much news there is when people write every other day; if they wait for a month, there is nothing that seems worth telling.”

“Writer's Block is just an excuse by people who don't write for not writing.”

“For me, if I have writer’s block it means I know that what I am writing is not working quite right and I need to go back and fix what is not right. And once I do that I can write onward. Sometimes writer’s block is just I’m in a funk that day and my writing just isn’t working. In that case I write anyway and then throw it away. You can always write. Writer's block is 'I can't write because what I'm writing is crap.”

“I don’t write poetry when I wish, I write when I can’t, when my larynx is flooded and my throat is shut.”

“I write in order to comprehend, not to express myself.”
