Thought for the Weekend - Hilary Mantel & Erica Jong

Okay, because I'm in a particularly generous mood today, I'm going to give you not one but two 'Thoughts for the Weekend'

Have a great Weekend!


If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient.

All writing problems are psychological problems. Blocks usually stem from the fear of being judged. If you imagine the world listening, you’ll never write a line. That’s why privacy is so important. You should write first drafts as if they will never be shown to anyone.

  2. Thanks Michelle - Also re first drafts - a good piece of advice I got once, was to always keep your first draft - just in case in editing you lose the essense of what u wer originally aiming for.
