BIC!!!!!

All writers fear the time when 'writer's block' sets in to their brain. I believe there is no such thing as 'writer's block', IF... the writer keeps these three letters in mind - BIC -- Butt in Chair.

It's difficult to be blocked when you are putting words on paper. Even if the words turn out to be the wrong words for the story you are currently writing, you are still keeping the flow of creativity moving.

I must admit I'm as guilty as the next of dallying instead of writing but once my fingers get moving on the keys of my computer keyboard and I let the characters run amok, my stories seem to take more interesting paths than if I were to try and force the storyline.

In the two writing groups I'm part of, BIC is pretty much the mantra. One can't be a writer if one doesn't write! Put your can in the chair and let the inspiration flow. All first drafts serve as skeleton outlines. You put down the words then go back and refine them to bring the story to the point you want your reader to be at when they put down the book for the final time.

Words don't bleed, but editors do. [Yet to find a way to bang my head on the desk without blood.]

Keep in mind, BIC.
