I don't really believe in writer's block.
It goes back to my childhood. Yup, I come from the age we blame everything on our parents. However, Dad won’t threaten to disinherit me for this one. You see, my dad was a plumber. He got up every day and went to work. Never, not once, do I ever recall him saying, “I can not plumb today. I have plumber’s block.”
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know there were days he plumbed better than others. Days his job was crappy. (And I don’t mean he literally dealt with crap, but hey, he unclogged toilets.) And as a writer, I have days I write better than others, and days I question my ability to write even a grocery list.
But in the mood or not, I have to produce pages. Some days those pages sing, sometimes I think they are little "crappy" but I have to write. So I put butt in chair and stare at the screen until words flow.
