Friday quote: Writer’s Block

A great working environment

Scott Adams (via Seth Godin):

I think writer’s block is when you say to yourself, “I could write something, but it wouldn’t be good enough.” There’s no such thing as a complete inability to write a sentence.

He’s right, of course: it’s the fear of failure, of incompetence, or the fear of being perceived as incompetent, which stops so much useful work being done. If it’s sub-standard, will it actually drive readers/customers away? John S Rhodes has an interesting take on the issue.

Best get on with it, then.

  1. Looks like you might need a slightly larger desk….although I can’t say that mine is much larger ;) Although I can fit a 17″ screen AND a keyboard onto it :D
