Sherri Burr, Law Professor at the University of New Mexico, interviewed me recently for her Arts Talk television program. I've broken the interview into three sections, each about seven minutes long. They're on YouTube and my website, but for your convenience, here's the first one:
Debunking the Myth of Writers Block
To put this in perspective, I've help several hundred writers who thought they were "blocked." If this little video helps a few more, or even helps rid us rid of this destructive idea, I'll feel well rewarded.
I'll follow up with the other two parts of the interview--on Marketing Your Writing and The Writer's Life--in later posts.

I recommend Jerry's methods and ideas on "writer's block." I too believe it is a myth, as I am never blocked anymore. It has been quite liberating to understand this.
I find myself now being more interested in one thing than another, so I put aside one thing and write on another.
I also find myself simply being fatigued. In such cases I write nothing. Sometimes now, while sitting on the recliner, my wife will ask if I am doing something (because I am rarely doing nothing).
My reply is, "Yes I am. I am resting."
Resting from writing is not being blocked. It is regaining energy.
