Fic is being awkward.

"I never call it writer's block, though. I don't know why, but I sort of react with revulsion to that phrase. I imagine it to mean sitting there with No Ideas At All. For me, it feels more like the ideas just won't take the right shape or form."
Russell T. Davies, The Writer's Tale

The great Welshman speaks the truth.

One of the best books on writing I've ever read. I keep recommending it to friends who are writers but not Doctor Who fans, and those who have picked it up love it, mainly because a number of them have found themselves saying, "Oh, god, that's so true."

It's incredible. And so, so, so true - it's seriously the best book on writing ever. Certainly the best I've ever read. Plus, it's fascinating to get a glimpse 'behind the scenes' - I think I'm far more appreciative of how much hard work goes into TV than I was.
