Don Henley on avoiding writer's block

I’ve learned you can be too self-critical. I know people who are so critical of what they do that they get writer’s block. So I realized that once I lightened up on myself a little bit, I actually wrote better. There’s a delicate balance between being too critical and not being critical enough, and you have to find that middle ground and then work from there.—Don Henley
