Writer's Block Quotes

Cure for writer’s block: blow something up(in the story) Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in writer’s block. Think about it - when you were blocked in college and had to write a paper, didn’t it always manage to fix itself the night before the paper was due? Writer’s block is having too much time on your hands Picture Quote #1

I have a cheat-sheet for each one of my characters about their personality, the way they look, etc. So there is no possible way that I could have writer’s block Picture Quote #1

If you do enough planning before you start to write, there’s no way you can have writer’s block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline Picture Quote #1

The problem is acceptance, which is something we’re taught not to do. We’re taught to improve uncomfortable situations, to change things, alleviate unpleasant feelings. But if you accept the reality that you have been given- that you are not in a productive creative period- you free yourself to begin filling up again Picture Quote #1

There’s no such thing as writer’s block. That was invented by people in California who couldn’t write Picture Quote #1

I’ve often said that there’s no such thing as writer’s block; the problem is idea block. When I find myself frozen-whether I’m working on a brief passage in a novel or brainstorming about an entire book-it’s usually because I’m trying to shoehorn an idea into the passage or story where it has no place Picture Quote #1

I’ve only suffered writer’s block badly once, and that was during the writing of Chamber of Secrets. I had my first burst of publicity about the first book and it paralysed me. I was scared the second book wouldn’t measure up, but I got through it! Picture Quote #1

I tell my students there is such a thing as ‘writer’s block,’ and they should respect it. You shouldn’t write through it. It’s blocked because it ought to be blocked, because you haven’t got it right now Picture Quote #1

I don’t remember ever having writer’s block. If I sit in there for four hours, I’ll usually have something Picture Quote #1

Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say? Picture Quote #1

Convince yourself that you are working in clay, not marble, on paper not eternal bronze: Let that first sentence be as stupid as it wishes Picture Quote #1

I had to educate him that there was no such thing as writer's block, that writers write when they write, and when they don't, they don't Picture Quote #1

But it is the subjects, the conversations, the facts we shy away from, which claim us in the form of writer's block, as mere rhetoric, as hysteria, insomnia, and constriction of the throat Picture Quote #1

I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else Picture Quote #1

I've never had a writer's block, but still I think: Is it going to happen this time? You never know what you're going to get; you just put your fingers on the keys and hope Picture Quote #1
