Lock Yourself in a Room

My block was due to two overlapping factors: laziness and lack of discipline. If you really want to write, then shut yourself in a room, close the door, and WRITE. If you don't want to write, do something else. It's as simple as that.

It's only simple if you don't have a deadline and are mentally and physically healthy. Sometimes, locking yourself in a room doesn't help. Sometimes when you force yourself to write words they're crap that all has to be deleted afterward. And sometimes you don't have the luxury of writing only when you feel like it. People who say writer's block is a myth probably aren't on contract, or are creative geniuses. People who say inspiration doesn't matter are either always inspired, or have never been.

Everyone has writer's block at one time or another. Talking about myself majority of the time it is due to laziness or too much pressure to write. So I am either too laid back or too focussed on writing to write.
It's not always about being inspired, sometimes when you start writing without inspiration, random freewrites, the inspiration comes when a new thread is found by some imaginative phrase or mood from the uninspired freewrite... I can honestly say I am never inspired to write but just want to write and majority of the time it is yawn worthy stuff but I pursue, hoping that so called big inspiration will come.
