"writing isn't as hard as the idea of writing -- sitting down and confronting your own anxieties about the value of what you create. A lot of the writing process is just finding a way to push through that.

"It's not writer's block so much as ... writer's giant wall of jello, or writer's massive sea of molasses."

Well, I mean, there's also just plain finding the words.

I remember when I was younger and I would complain of writer's block and people would give me story ideas and I wanted to cry, because my problem was figuring out the proper words for the story I was working on, not lacking stories to tell.

Oof! I get that -- and seeing how easily their mistaken interpretation could happen only makes it sound even more frustrating.
