Writer's Block - Part 2

Someone at school asked me to do a part two, so here it is!

On my first document that I posted I wrote about some tips, but here, today, I shall be merely describing what Writer's Block actually is.

Firstly, many people think of Writer's Block as something ACTUALLY stopping them from doing something. But it is wholly not true: it is your own choice, whatever you may think, to quit your story - or epic - or script - or whatever, really. I mean, my point is that you don't have to wait for the Block to pass - you have to push forwards, and fight against the will to give up, because if you really care, then you will do everything to succeed.

Another thing is that many people tend to just give up after a while, saying that "Oh, the Block isn't over yet!" They try to convince themselves that they're not good enough, and that they still need to rest. Of course that is understandable - but, as I said earlier, if you wait for a long time and nothing happens, then it is just your turn to push against the evil dragon that sucks out all your creativity.

My last advice for this document is - write everyday! Either it is a small two-line poem or a ten-page story, I know myself that if you do something every single day then your mind will just get used to it after a while. And if this time next month you find yourself absentmindedly writing everyday, then how can you ever find time for the hateful Block?! Easy!
