re: Writer's Block

In response to David L's post at Printnpost.com writer's block are very real indeed. As a creative person, for me it is easier to write and then market the work than to be given an assignment and a deadline with a word count before the first word is written. The worst writer's block I've ever had came when I was given a contract for a mermaid story. To that point, I'd always written the work and then tried to sell it. This was in reverse and had me sweating. I am happy to say that the story got written and is now published in a book, thank goodness.
