Thoughts on Writer’s Block

“I don’t believe in it (writer’s block). All writing is difficult. Plumbers don’t get plumber’s block, and doctors don’t get doctor’s block. Why should writing be the only profession that gives a special name to the difficulty of working, and then expects sympathy for it?” – Sir Philip Pullman – CBE

I have taken it upon myself to “Sharpen the Saw” and book myself on an on-line writing course.

The above quote was presented to me as part of lesson 1. Well, I don’t know what to say! Cause oh man, I feel quite blocked sometimes!!!! Anyone else feel this way – sometimes? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge! lol)

Sharpen the Saw – What is it, I hear your ask?

“Sharpen the Saw” is one of the 7 habits from the book – 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R Covey

The 7 habits of Highly Effective People is a great book and I highly recommend it. It made me rethink a few things.

So basically, what is ” Sharpening the Saw”?. The example given in the book goes along the lines of …

If you use a blunt axe to chop down a tree it will take ages to chop it down , or saw it down. But, if you spend some time in sharpening the saw, you will chop/saw that tree down faster!

So with that aim in mind I booked myself on this course to writer better blog posts, and writer better in general. eeek!
