Writer's Block

This lesson defines the different ideas of the blocked — strict to the writing rules and planning strategies whereas the non-blocked — apply the writing rules to the work but in flexible, openly and functionally ways. From the description, I am rather be in the blocked group.

This lesson also guides the blocked solving methods of Rules and Plans — heuristics and TOTE. I think I can follow the method of approaching the problems with flexible idea of writing (heuristics) and I agree with the idea of Robert M Gagne that the readers do confuse if the writing is finished without rules and rules can easily be learned directly or through experience (TOTE).

I appreciate the idea of the non-blocked that they dare to reject rules if they conflict with their work. Anyway, I cannot follow this idea because I believe the writing generates from a problem-solving process.
