How many people here have suffered from writer's block? How many people even believe it's real?
I've been dealing with this for some time now and I'm not sure what it really is. Something happened a few years ago and I've become overly critical of my own work. I can still write, and sometimes I think it's amazing stuff, but when I go back to revise I choke. It seems like it's all garbage. I start editing and about a half an hour later I'm stalled out completly.
Anyone experience something like this? If so, how do you deal with it?
My wife says to me to go ahead and just finish it. If I can't do a rewrite then to submit it as is. Hah! Easy for her to say.
