Here’s the trick. Conduct a sort of competition between the pages you have written and the number of rejection slips you have received from agents, editors, and publications. If rejection slips outnumber pages you have written, you can use the old “Writers Block” excuse. If number of pages you have written outnumber rejection slips then you still have a goal to work toward. Of course, getting published is always a nice goal to shoot for, too. This is all to say that actually “Writers Block” is a myth. Perhaps the phrase “Writer’s Block” would serve our purposes better if it carried a meaning more akin to “Butcher’s Block.” A wrtier’s block is such a piece upon which chopping and cutting of a text is performed. In other words, when a piece is on the “writer’s block,” it is going through the editing stages. Write on!
