Writing advice from Anne Enright

“The way to tackle writer’s block is to not believe it exists. If you run out of steam on something, switch to something else and come back later. Also, I don’t get writers block because I am not writing—I am just typing, thinking, pushing into something to see what’s there.

I never sit down to produce a novel. I work a line or two, redraft endlessly, improvise. I spend a year or more in this creative state of uncertainty, and one day, I seem to know what I am doing. The book makes itself known to me. After this, my job is to shape it, and bring it to its best self.”
