YES! I totally agree with you on all points. I remember seeing that about writer’s block and thinking “Whatever”. I know there are times I just get “stuck” and that’s just that. I can sit down and write crap or I can stop torturing myself.
I, too, have an ugly voice in my head. Mine is the Critical Mom. (If you were a good writer, you would be published by now. You’re writing is boring and predictable. No one wants to read what you write etc.)
Most of the time, that voice isn’t loud and insistent, but sometimes it dominates my thinking.
I don’t know what makes a “real writer”. I don’t like to say “I write” because I’m not published. *Shrugs*. I don’t think that means I’m not a writer, I think it means I’m not going to open myself up to everyone.
I agree with you. A writer writes, even if it’s only once a week or once a month.
Tell the abusive, fat guy to shove it from me.
