Have I tricked myself into writer's block? I've been staring at a wall for so long, I think I've come to understand this wall sheltering me.
I've a fascination with creativity, and I think writing is interesting. Then when I had written something, this tricked me into thinking my mind is an interesting place. This was my creative chastity, preventing me from progress. I let my fascination trick me into thinking I am capable.
So if this is the essence of writer's block, one just needs abstinence from egotistical stimulation. I should be more austere, anons, what do you think?
True, I think that overconfidence could screw you over when writing and cause writer's block, but a total lack of confidence will also make you lose motivation to write. For a long time I abandoned stories not even halfway through because I thought my writing was too crap.
