Gegen die Schreibblockade
So einfach ist das.
Writing is more than just typing; organizing, filing, sifting, keeping track, cleaning up are part of the necessary routine of the writing life whether you're a journalist or a novelist.
I came to this realization after re-reading a favorite book, "How Writers Journey to Comfort and Fluency: A Psychological Adventure," by Robert Boice, a psychologist who works with blocked writers. He captured the essence of the conflict for me when he described the value of "arranging imagination," buttressing his argument with this passage from the influential sociologist C. Wright Mills:
To capture what you experience and sort it out ... you must set up a file ... Whenever you feel strongly about events or ideas you must try not to let them pass from your mind, but instead to formulate them for your files and in so doing draw out their implications, show yourself how foolish these feelings or ideas are, or how they might be articulated into productive shape. The file also helps you build up the habit of writing.
