FAQs

What is writer's block?
Writer's block is a deadly disease found in anyone who's ever picked up a pencil. Its symptoms include depression, lack of interest in your book/novel, lack of brain activity, laziness, procrastination, hand cramps, and brain fog. Luckily, there is a cure for WB: plenty of inspiration and encouragement! That's what the Writer's Block is all about.


What is this blog for anyways? It seems kinda dumb.
The Writer's Block is aimed at teen writers, but can be used by anyone from ages 3 to 126. Mainly we wish to encourage and inspire young writers to keep writing even when the going gets tough, but we also provide services for young writers such as contests, awards, writing help, Q&A, and so much more!


Are teen writers psychopaths?
Yes. Yes we are.
