Good point, Rosanne. One thing I particularly like about Steve P’s book is when he talks about the experience of forcing yourself to sit and write—no matter how you feel at the moment—and, almost always, you “get into the zone” and inspiration comes like a muse from heaven! It’s happened to me quite often. Thanks so much for your comment and good luck with your writing and books. Colin

The way I define it, writer’s block is just one of many forms of resistance. Procrastination, perfectionism and self-doubt are other forms of resistance. I tell my students and clients that the point isn’t to be a writer who never experiences resistance (even pros feel some form of resistance), the point is to be a writer who knows how to effectively respond to resistance so you write anyway.
