[…] Er zijn over dit onderwerp tientallen boeken geschreven – ironisch niet, schrijven over dat je niet weet wat je moet schrijven – en nu dus weer een log. Zo ook door blogger van het eerste uur Hugh MacLeod. Volgens hem moet je je niet wenden tot seminars over writer’s blocks of boeken die je verderop willen helpen.
