When I first realised that I had found the man I was going to marry, I could not write. (1979, p. 196) The first thing to do when you find yourself a victim of writer’s block is to accept it for exactly what it is; not the end of the world, but a rejuvenation period. Let yourself rest. Be good to yourself. Call it a vacation. (p. 196)...
