Writing about a writer's block is better than not writing at all

About This Quote

Writing about a writer's block is better than not writing at all. When writers need to get a completed manuscript written, they tend to work on it until they just can't. Then they take a break from the project. But when people have writer's block, they refuse to write anything at all.

Many people have trouble writing due to fear of failure. Others don't know how to begin the next sentence, so they never begin. They keep putting it off until it's too late and their deadlines are missed.A writer with a block is going to produce a lot less than a writer who keeps going with the project.

That's because the writer who keeps going will work on his or her project until it's finished and will also start working on a second project that is already in the works.
