Susan Orlean writing history and literature lit creativity and innovation creativity writer's block
If you’ve got writer’s block, you don’t have writer’s block. You have reporter’s block. You only are having trouble writing because you don’t actually yet know what you’re trying to say, and that usually means you don’t have enough information. That’s the signal to walk away from the keyboard, think about what it is that you don’t really know yet, and go do that reporting.
A wonderful conversation with New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean about her process. Also see Orlean’s advice on writing – part of this evolving library of notable advice on the craft – and Lewis Carroll’s three tips on overcoming creative block.
