Writer's block — so what? Write something bad. Just throw it in the trash can when you're done, you're always improving. That kind of writing is like doing a bunch of push-ups. Every individual push-up is not the important thing. On Tuesday you're going to think, "Is it really important that I do it today?" No, but the collective impact is. If you write every day, you will improve. ↗
The thing I want to write most is the next thing I write. ↗

قفلة الكاتب أو The writer block تلك الحالة التي يفقد فيها الكاتب قدرته علي الكتابة والرغبة فيها . يغدو الوجود لديها بلا معني . ويكون ضعيفا أضعف ما يكون .ويصير انزواؤه فيما يشبه الصندوق المحكم نوعا من الكُمُون الواقي . يتحاشي مواجهة العالم بمثل هذه الدرجة المبرحه من الضعف ويأمل أن تعود روحه إلي انتفاضها في مثل هذه السكينة والهدأة . ↗
Creative exhaustion is first cousin to writer’s block. First off, I try to accept that when it hits, I am not wasting time, but preparing myself to return to work. I blog more. I do something different, like answering this question. If I can’t force myself to finish a story, then perhaps it was not worth finishing. If I have to push rather than let it flow, it won’t be as good as if I take more time, mess around in the garden and try to shove the guilt deep into the compost pile. I am still a writer so long as I am thinking! ↗
I write whenever it suits me. During a creative period I write every day; a novel should not be interrupted. ↗

A man is a fool not to put everything he has, at any given moment, into what he is creating. You're there now doing the thing on paper. You're not killing the goose, you're just producing an egg. So I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working. I have never had the problem of a writing block. I've heard about it. I've felt reluctant to write on some days, for whole weeks, or sometimes even longer. I'd much rather go fishing, for example, or go sharpen pencils, or go swimming, or what not. But, later, coming back and reading what I have produced, I am unable to detect the difference between what came easily and when I had to sit down and say, "Well, now it's writing time and now I'll write." There's no difference on paper between the two. ↗
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. ↗
I hate tricks. At the first sign of a trick or gimmick in a piece of fiction, a cheap trick or even an elaborate trick, I tend to look for cover. Tricks are ultimately boring, and I get bored easily, which may go along with my not having much of an attention span. But extremely clever chi-chi writing, or just plain tomfoolery writing, puts me to sleep. Writers don't need tricks or gimmicks or even necessarily need to be the smartest fellows on the block. At the risk of appearing foolish, a writer sometimes needs to be able to just stand and gape at this or that thing- a sunset or an old shoe- in absolute and simple amazement. ↗
If you think of something, do it. Plenty of people often think, “I’d like to do this, or that. ↗

Very often we write down a sentence too early, then another too late; what we have to do is write it down at the proper time, otherwise it's lost. ↗
