Hello All,
It is a lovely day today at the ASU West Writing Center. I just wanted to start by talking about writer’s block because that’s what I am currently experiencing while typing this blog. So, what better way to get over writer’s block then to write about it? It’s a win-win situation, really. Writer’s block, it’s a dreaded term, but it happens to the best of us. It strikes at the most inconvenient times too, like two hours before your philosophy paper is due, or when you dare to think, “Hey I’ll get this done early,” but alas! Writer’s block hits you square in the face and you’re left staring blankly at your computer screen (or notebook, if you’re old fashioned). Sometimes though, it can be, dare I say it? — Good for you? Sometimes it can clear out all those useless bits of fluff that have filled your head. It can force you to abandon those clichéd thoughts and take on a new perspective. It’s a peculiar thing, writer’s block, but it is as much a part of the writing process as grammar and conventions—annoying, but necessary.
