My block was due to two overlapping factors: laziness and lack of discipline.

My biggest excuse to others and myself was that I had writer's block, as if it was some kind of illness.

For a long period in my life - it lasted about 10 years - I had writer's block.

My inner critic who had begun piping up about how hopeless I was and how I didn't know to write.

I decided to write about the myths of divorce.

I deleted all the games from my computer. I spent days trawling the Internet. I started slowly.
