I just got out of graduate school in May (MFA) and I feel like I might never write again. All I did was write for two years and I feel empty. I am terrified that my will to write is gone and might not come back. Have you ever felt this way, and if so, how did you get out of it?

Hi John!

Huge fan. I am going through some terrible, horrible, no-good very bad writers block right now. I'm finishing my MFA and I think it has depleted me. How do you "refill the well"? How do you not let the business BS get you down when you're still an "emerging writer" (god I hate that term)?

For the record, the last three pages of TFIOS made me throw the book down in frustration because I think it was perfect writing. It's very rare to see perfect writing. Then I read it again and cried, which was the normal reaction.
