"The only requirement for being a writer is to say that YOU ARE ONE. That’s it. (and then you might want to actually sit down and write on a semi-regular basis. The more often the better) Say it NOW - I Am a Writer". Your attitude is excellent. In no time that writer's block of you will be dissolved. I've been there fore some time now, I have my stories in my head all the time but something happens that nothing pours out of my hands and fingers. Plus I am stuck with the writing of my thesis, something that would usually flow but I got paralyzed or severely distracted every time I sit in front of my computer. It makes me feel awful: frustrated, insecure, guilty (all my deadlines are by now fifth heaven's dead).
