摘要

After writing nearly 70 Perspectives, it was bound to happen; it seems I have hit "writer's block." This is the first time I sat do wn to write my monthly essay in over 8 months and I decided to use the occasion to familiarize myself with this condition (and try to liberate myself from it). Writer's block varies in intensity from extreme (abandoning one's career as an author-think Harper Lee and Ralph Ellison) to trivial and temporary (which I hope mine is). Why worry? Most writers have it at one time or another. The most common causes cited for writer's block are lack of inspiration, illness, depression, financial pressure, and a sense of failure. None of these apply to me. In my case, maybe it is just good old academic pressure. With increasing frequency, I hear that the only part of AJNR that our subscribers read is my Perspectives, to which I say: What about the rest of the Journal? That is where most of my energy and time are spent! And, if our readers are paying that much attention to my short essays, should each one be better than the last? Writer's block sounds like the ideal excuse to avoid thinking about what to write (just look at the title of my first reference: "Writer's Block as an Instrument for Remaining in Paradise").
