Are You Writing Serious Fantasy? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I haven't read all the up to date stuff yet so i might be repeating what has already been said, but when considering writer's block take a look outside. It might seem stupid but I have just signed up for this writer's newsletter which suggests that there is a link between the weather and a writer's performance. E.g. if it is humid or hot you are less likely to either feel like writing, or if you do write, not write at your best (unfortunatly it is the same for people doing exams).
I beleive thsi to be true as in the winter months I always write better than in the summer, despite there being so much more inpiration around in the warmer months.
This could very well be your problem, in which case it will go away as soon as Autumn begins to creep back onto us.
