I recently installed WriteRoom on my Mac to try and write distraction free, without all the clutter on my desktop, and for a few days it worked. But then the fear set in again. I'm so thankful to know that even "Professional" writers struggle with writer's block. Thanks for the Article! I struggle with the the idea that “Writer’s Write” – Every Day!

Life is funny. Thank you for reading! Pete -- I was surprised by that as well. I've been using a computer for only 15 years or so, but it's so much easier for me to write fiction on a keyboard. (If it's a shorter format, like taglines, then I need the tactile nature of pen and paper. I'm not sure why. It helps the creativity.) Delisha — Thank you. =)

Thanks Emma. I'm struck by how many of those authors write, at least initially, in longhand; I think and write differently when I'm writing with a pen on paper, and suspect the result is better than when I try to type directly (although I touch-type fairly well). But maybe I should've written this by hand first ;^) I hadn’t come across the WSJ article until you drew my attention to it here. Thanks Emma.
