On Oprah's site, there's a great essay on writing and stubbornness from Junot Diaz.
I remember reading his short story collection Drown years ago, and learning that he got a huge book deal to write a novel. And then: nothing. Not a word. Nary a peep. Not even some rumorish buzz.
Until I heard that he was incredibly blocked. Stuck. Seems as if that huge book deal kind of made the writing process a bit heavy.
