Thanks Cybele - need to add that to my collection of inspiring quotes.

I've had a comprehensive creative block (not just writer's block) for a couple of decades now. I've been working very hard for the past year or two to get rid of it, but there's still a way to go.

The last big obstacle for me is the residual fear. It's as if, having survived a near-drowning, I'm standing at the edge of the water and afraid to jump in.

The NaNoWriMo idea of writing fast and furiously, going for fluency over high craftsmanship and not caring whether anyone else reads it, might be just what I need to destroy this block once and for all. That's why I've taken the name "BlockBreaker" for my project.

That's a great quotation! I'll keep it in mind when I'm doing, um, writing, I guess.

Great words, and so true. I have experienced that myself when writing on a deadline for my column in a newspaper. While they say, that writing non-fiction has no 'writing blocks' - partly, because you know what to write about - in fact, there is one. And, yes, to overcome it - put the butt on a chair, bite into a fresh pastry, and type away :)

Head-spinningly great.
"...that standard he imagines the world has set for him."

Fast and furious junk, written down con great gusto - 50000 thousand jubilant, silly, titillating or plain and uneventful words. (Editing in December with a cold eye.) TO WHATEVER STANDARD.

Therefore: thanks loads, Cybele, for leading me here and to William Stafford, whom I'd never heard of (huh? or did I? Or am I confusing him with StaffordSHIRE?)

Kindness. I think it all boils down to kindness. Our writing. Your providing these quotes. All of you organizing NaNoWriMo.

"It doesn't make any difference if you are good or bad today."
Yay.

I guess this can be true. It probably is in all sense. Maybe it is just the fact that most writers have ideas laid out in their mind and like a worn path it dissappears in spots. Your plot just dissappears, the main idea is still there a little way up ahead, but the little stuff inbetween is still uncertain. This could definitely be a lack a discipline and such, but maybe it is just the fact that the whole idea of the context didn't even have that strong of plot in your mind and now coming to veiw it you don't even like it anymore.
Now I am just talking jibberish. Figures.

Great quote! It definitely makes me feel motivated;)

To me, not all goes down well with William's idea on Writer's Block. I believe it usually surfaces due to the lack of disciplined attitude to writing. And yes, if 'discipline' means to set a standard of performance in any which way (quality of writing/quantity of writing) within a time frame, I'd love to be with that.

In fact, there's supposed to be two schools on this: One which believs in waiting for the creative juices to flow (and letting it go when it doesn't);

Two, which aims to catch the juice on a routine basis, at any unit interval of time.

I subscribe to the second school.

Here's my favorite new quote on writing:

Normal people can produce extraordinary things by simply refusing to leave a blank page blank.
--Chris Baty, a few blog posts ago.

Gotta go. Lots of blank pages to wipe out!

It would make a wonderful journaling prompt! In fact I think I'll direct people here from the writers' exercises blog I maintain...

Cybele, this is great! I'm getting myself ready for this years NaNoWriMo, and need to work on an outline. This is VERY inspirational!!! Will certainly share with all my writing buds!

That makes a whole lotta sense. I'll need to write that down and stick it on my wall.

I have friends who need to hear that quote.

... ok. So I need to hear the quote. Every single day.

I find that when I write despite writer's block, the stuff I produce is as good as that which is 'inspired', or better - certainly far above what I felt like I was going to write. There's a letting go in writing apart from standards that allows the story to take a life of its own ... and things are always so much better when that happens. :)

Love that quote, it fits into the nano philosophy so well.

Great quote and one to definitely remember. I came across this gem on Neil Gaiman's blog:

"All writers know that on some golden mornings they are touched by the wand—are on intimate terms with poetry and cosmic truth. I have experienced those moments myself. Their lesson is simple: It's a total illusion. And the danger in the illusion is that you will wait for those moments. Such is the horror of having to face the typewriter that you will spend all your time waiting. I am persuaded that most writers, like most shoemakers, are about as good one day as the next (a point which Trollope made), hangovers apart. The difference is the result of euphoria, alcohol, or imagination. The meaning is that one had better go to his or her typewriter every morning and stay there regardless of the seeming result. It will be much the same." --John Kenneth Galbraith

*********

I have now lost my two best procrastinations - "I've got writer's block" and "But I'm waiting for the right moment" - well, maybe not so much /lost/ as I can't really use them as excuses any more.

I have an ex-coworker (and editor and a creative writing teacher) who once informed me of her low opinion of National Novel Writing Month. After all, she had been working on her first novel for six years! And was nowhere near finishing it! How could anyone write anything worth writing in one month...

:)

There's a literary term for that kind of irony right?

William Stafford is one of my favorite writers/poets. He had three books on writing, as well as many books of poetry. "Writing The Australian Crawl" and "You Must Revise Your Life" come to mind. Definitely worth a read.

A more accurate quote has never been uttered. I know that my writers block exists simply because what I imagine in my head never seems to come across perfectly on paper.

That is definitely a wonderful quote :) I'll have to tape it to my wall beside my plot brainstorming!
