Don't Make Light of Another Writer's Plight
Since I talk about my struggles
and the things I have done that helped me with writer’s block, depression, and
burnout in Keep Writing with Fey, I am going to do something a little
different for this post.
WRITER'S BLOCK:
There are people who will say that writer’s block isn’t
real. I disagree. (Obviously.) I’m not going to try to change anyone’s mind if
they believe there’s no such thing as writer’s block, as I hope they will
allow me my opinion, but I do want to address something.
Whenever someone says
that writer’s block doesn’t exist or is a myth, they usually follow that up
with something like “you just have to put your butt in the seat and write.” Or they
will even claim that you’re just not writing because you don’t want it badly enough.
That is pretty damaging to hear when you're the writer struggling.
