Blog: Dear Mr Gaiman Apologies for all of these questions! And thank you for answering the last one, it was a lifesaver. And if you’ve already answered this, then don’t worry about it. I’m stuck in the midst of an awful writer’s block right now. I hate everything that I write, feel a bit like a failure and generally feel miserable, tired and depressed and it isn’t just the writing. I have to write a short story for an assessment task and I’m just stuck and ready to cry. So I suppose my question is, how do you work yourself out of a writer’s block, stuck with a deadline that creeps closer with a rather manic (and canine) grin (perhaps holding a candle to Pennywise’s smirk?) and you’re stuck in a dumb rut? Thanks! from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 10 months agoDon’t write it to make yourself happy. Write it to write it. Start writing and head for the end.
