What if everything you wrote was trash? (Raising of hands. Murmurs, "That's happened to me before.") Okay, that's horrible to call any writing trash, I know, but us writers set such high expectations for our work that sometimes that's exactly how we feel. High expectations are great; don't get me wrong, but often the expectation of 'better work' puts us in a block. Here's a helpful tip: don't always force your writing to work.
I always think, this isn't good enough! But I think that is partly due to my insisting that it should be. So I create a trash book. Yes, - a trash book. I write on my trash book, knowing that whatever comes out is trash anyways, and actually end up using the material a lot of the time. I do love my trash book! : )
