Thank you for responding to my question about writer's block - and I am glad to say that I have also come to see periods of not writing as a redirection or a maturation of an idea or an opportunity to do other things in service of my writing, as you describe and suggest, and not to fret about it try to force anything. "Everything we do feeds the work." Indeed. Having this view also brings a lot of peace of mind. Thank you again - Polly
Thank you so much for this roundup and all the helpful answers, Maggie - I upgraded to paid just to read! I'm absolutely loving 'Dear Writer' (my nightly reading at the moment), and it was great to meet you when you spoke at the MLK Jr. Central Library here in DC. All the best, and thanks again for all the insights you share!
