Maybe never having writer's block is a sign of logorrhea rather than being well-read. Famous writers w/ blocks: Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Joseph Mitchell. Truman Capote. Harold Brodkey. Harper Lee. Henry Roth. Ralph Ellison. David Foster Wallace.

Musicians who don't listen to enough music can never compose, I listen nearly all the time I'm not playing, and behold, I can just come up with at least a something, even if it needs sculpting.

Or that you're too mentally exhausted from doing other shit, since the vast majority of writers have to do other work to pay their bills

Cernovich channeling Bukowski... please

Writers blocks, what the heck is that thing?

I think writers block comes more from not having time to think of anything new because ideas are still flying around in the author's head. My solution has always been to just stop writing for a bit then come back when I'm ready.

How can someone be that wrong though?? Lol

brutal!

True story. Any real writer knows it's a myth. If you're stuck you can always wrote down anything and come back to fix it. And with modern day technology it's even less work to go back and edited than what guys like Hemingway had to deal with.

Interesting point. I read all the time and I never seem to run out of things to speak on come Sunday morning

Flaubert would disagree.

I started writing a couple years ago, just short thoughts, ideas, etc. Published two article in the @HavokJournal . Would not have been possibly had I not started reading a few years up to that. Can't have one without the other.

Today I learned Bukowski was more than just a song by Modest Mouse

This is why it takes George r r Martin 10 years between books. Lazy.

That’s an assumption.
