I personally don't subscribe to the idea of writer's block. While I've heard ample discussions on the topic and acknowledge its existence, I firmly believe it doesn't apply to me as a writer.
I never have and I never will. Do I get stuck? Absolutely. I just continue by writing another section. By doing this, my draft is all over the place; however, that's why we have editors.
My series, Woody Buchman, is quite easy to write. It draws from my life of degradation and addiction.
Writers who yell, "Oh my God, I have writer's block" are just drama queens. My ego insists that even if I experience writer's block, I will never disclose it to anyone.
Why the fuck would I? As I said, drama queens.
When I hear that someone has writer's block, this is the image I form in my head:
At a cocktail party, they press the back of their hand to their forehead, sigh, and say: "Alas! I know not what thou art to do—I have been struck by writer’s block!"
God, what a load of dramatic bollocks. I'd tell anyone who said that to "shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing themselves." And if it's really that bad, mate—"go cry to your therapist, not me." If the person were male, I would say, "Man up and write."
Finally, I'm sure it does exist, but not for this writer.
