He said that professional writers can't afford writer's block, because they need to eat, feed the kids, pay the bills, etc. It was an interesting perspective, which I've heard a time or two before. I guess it depends how you define "writer's block." No ideas? Fear of writing? No energy?

As a blogger and book author, writer's block is something I obviously try to avoid. It seems to me that a writer's procrastination is sometimes due to mixing up two different brain functions, the 'creator' and the 'editor'. (I have written about this in recent post on creativity.) Writer's block happens when we stop the creative process by judging what we are writing critically before the first draft is written. When we learn to control and use each of these two different thinking modes at the right time, writer's block is a thing of the past. This is a very interesting post.
