I'm trying to get motivated to write, yet again.
But I learned something interesting about writer's block that I think might be true.
From Ray Bradbury: "Writers’ block is just a warning that you’re doing the wrong thing: What if you have a blockage and you don’t know what to do about it? Well, it’s obvious you’re doing the wrong thing, aren’t you?...You’re being warned, aren’t you? Your subconscious is saying I don’t like you anymore...If you have writers’ block you can cure it this evening by stopping what you’re doing and writing something else. You picked the wrong subject."
So maybe that's what it is. Maybe I'm trying to write the wrong thing, and that's why I'm not getting anywhere.
Here's something I never thought about Star Trek Next Gen. If, according to Gen Roddenberry's idea, that in the future there will be no grief, why is there a ship's councilor?
I'm a Bradbury disciple & I agree; this is ten times crazier when it's code I'm trying to write. It can take years before I understand something I was doing wrong, often due to the fact that a concept I was trying to define just didn't exist yet.
