Five Great Quotations about Writers Block

“Sometimes I don’t write for weeks. And then all of the sudden I’ll get a rush of inspiration and you can’t drag me away from my notebook. But I don’t stress out if I don’t hit some arbitrary word count each day or if I go a few days without writing something.” – Julie Ann Dawson

“It’s not the writing part that’s hard. What’s hard is sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance.” – Steven Pressfield

“My imagination was running amok again. Twice in one night. This never happens when I’m sitting in front of a typewriter.” – Gary Reilly

“I couldn’t write. I grew tense. I was strangled by my own ego, by my petty desire for what I perceived to be the literary brass ring. I was missing the point, of course. The reward is in the doing.” – Dani Shapiro

“Writer’s block is when imaginary friends won’t talk to you. – Gary Lindberg
