Heather King
I don't get writer's block--I can neither afford nor indulge it. I write a weekly arts and culture column (among other things) that I consider part of my sacred vocation and thus a matter of obedience. Plus I need to pay the rent.
When I started out 25 years ago, I wrote every day as a matter of discipline. "The habit of art,"as Flannery O'Connor called it, became ingrained. I may not write every day but my heart, mind and soul have been formed constantly to be reflecting upon the world, my outer experiences and my inner life. So I may run out of energy and time, but I don't run out of ideas.
