HOW??

How in the world can so many people just sit down, start writing, and end the day with some ten thousand words, while I can't even make a single blog post of one thousand characters?

One friend has already had two books published (with another on the way), and another friend has about four different drafts in the works. I know what genre I want to write in, who my characters are, what should happen, how it should happen, and yet I can't complete a single page.

There are writing contests that people attend on a weekly basis and they manage to write several thousand words in a single hour. How come this just seems to come so naturally to some and not to others?

I'm told I'm intelligent, and a good writer for that matter, but yet, when it comes time to sit and write or type in most cases, nothing, nada, zip, zero, comes to mind.

Even just rambling like this doesn't seem to be coming easily. Oh well, I guess I'll go work on some Squidoo lenses, at least there I feel like I've accomplished something.
