I never really feel that I’m stuck. I actually think that people are never stuck, there’s no such thing as writers block, I think that theres terror that can silence you. But if you can think of it as a dynamic thing I mean a writers block, it’s a paralysis an immobility and the thing that has immobilized you is a very powerful force. Immobility is itself an act, it’s a choice. It can sometimes take as much energy to remain immobile as it does to be mobile. And if you think of it in a dynamic way then it’d freeze you from the sense that at some point your talent will simply abandon you and you’re just a vacant shell with nothing to say, I don’t think that ever really happens. But I think that terror, bad experience, trauma and so on can absolutely silence you.

Rakstīšana vislabāk veidoties zināmos burzmas apstākļos. Šo apgalvojumu esmu dzirdējis no tik daudziem intellektuāļiem, ka tas man jau sen ir apnicis… Saprotams, es tam neticu.

Radošs darbs nav veicams kaut kādā brīdī un pēc pavēles. Daiļnieks var strādāt tikai tad, kad jūtas aicināts! Ja vēlaties uzrakstīt kaut ko lielāku, tad jums jāiemācās iedvesmi organizēt – izsaukt pēc pavēles!… Vispirms mēģiniet ieturēt noteiktas darba stundas! Nekas tā nepalīdz kā regularitāte. Sēstieties pie galda arī tad, ja jums nepavisam negribas rakstīt! …Mēģiniet virzīt domas uz aprakstāmo tematu un piezīmējiet visu, kas šinī sakarā jums nāk prātā, lai arī sakarība liktos gluži absurda. Pēc pusstundas, ja vien jūs neesat patoloģiski izklaidīgs vai šizofrēns, jūs būsit atjaunojis kontaktu ar savu tematu un gluži nemanot iesāksit strādāt produktīvi.

This is the secret to mastering any discipline: as you conquer one, you'll find it easier to tackle another.

Der Mensch, der einen wirklich künstlerischen Eindruck empfängt, hat das Gefühl, dass er das, was ihm die Kunst enthüllt, bereits kannte, aber außer Stande war, den Ausdruck dafür zu finden.

Go to quote


All good writers write [terrible first drafts.] This is how they end up with good second drafts and terrific third drafts. . . I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. (Although when I mentioned this to my priest friend Tom, he said you can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

I tell everyone who asks me about writing...almost everyone has an idea for a book, and some even have a great ending, but it's that 290 or so pages in between that are tough!

I don’t know if you have had the same experience, but the snag I always come up against when I’m telling a story is this dashed difficult problem of where to begin it.
