Writer's block is an inevitable challenge that many writers face. It often manifests when you look at your recent work and feel a strong sense of disappointment, seeing it as unworthy or poorly written. This sense of failure can be discouraging, but it's a common experience among writers. Recognizing that writer’s block is a normal part of the creative process can help alleviate some of the pressure you may feel.

Anne Lamott, in her book "Bird by Bird," emphasizes the importance of accepting these moments of frustration. Understanding that everyone struggles with their writing at times allows you to approach your work with a more forgiving mindset. Rather than being paralyzed by self-criticism, embracing these challenges can lead to growth and improvement in your writing journey.
