"I never have [suffered writerâ€™s block], although Iâ€™ve had books that didnâ€™t work out. I had to stop writing them. I just abandoned them. It was depressing, but it wasnâ€™t the end of the world. When it really isnâ€™t working, and youâ€™ve been bashing yourself against the wall, itâ€™s kind of a relief. I mean, sometimes you bash yourself against the wall and you get through it. But sometimes the wall is just a wall. Thereâ€™s nothing to be done but go somewhere else."

-- Margaret Atwood
