That really was quite interesting, and quite amusing in spots. I may repost the link on my LJ too, if my cats' antics will allow it :-)

Very interesting essay, not hte least for the fact that it's got me looking at my stalled novel again for the first time in a month. Thanks for posting the link!

Thank you, that was a very interesting essay. However, I wonder if you should also post a link to Virginia Woolf's essay, "A Room of One's Own". I think for many women, it's not so much writer's block (I originally wrote "writer's clock", hmmm.) as not having enough time and energy. Our writing comes after the kids, the job, the housework. Even if we get up early in the morning to do it.
