 It is interesting to see writers block as an action that we do to ourselves.  "Writers who score highest on tests of this susceptibility fare best at writing because they work with less immediate concern for exact wording, with more initial freedom from internal editors, with more awareness of their emotions, and with less reliance on suppressive and repressive defenses." (91)  This section is interesting to show what may be the cause for writers to block.  The idea of a thrusting involvement with writing is especially interesting because it seems that maybe writing is the enemy or we can only find negative connotation to writing when the subject comes up.  I also agree with the section on free-writing.  I feel that when I am free-writing I am often (if not at a lack of words) able to map my way around my thoughts more easily then if it were a structured writing assignment.
