“Writer’s block is just a symptom of feeling like you have nothing to say, combined with the rather weird idea that you should feel the need to say something. Why? If you have something to say, then say it. If not, enjoy the silence while it lasts. The noise will return soon enough. In the meantime, you’re better off going out into the big, wide world, having some adventures and refilling your well. Trying to create when you don’t feel like it is like making conversation for the sake of making conversation. It’s not really connecting, it’s just droning on like an old, drunken barfly.”

i recommend buying this book immediately if you have not read it. serious.
“The more you practice your craft, the less you confuse worldly rewards with spiritual rewards, and vice versa. Even if your path never makes any money or furthers your career, that’s still worth a ton.”

currently reading this book on my flight back to SF from NYC. very, very solid. thought-provoking, fresh, straight-forward, and likely to inspire mass amounts of writing all over the pages. these types of books are my favorite. i highly recommend picking it up.
haha.
