WRITER’S BLOCK PHILIPPINES
Writer’s Block Philippines believes that writing is both art and craft, both creative and
methodical, a form of expression and a discipline. Writing itself is only one aspect of
“writing”; a culmination of other processes that make it easier for you to write your piece.
So while school will teach you how to write, Writer’s Block will bring all these different
processes together and teach you how to be an effective writer.
The philosophy of Writer’s Block Philippines can best be summarized as:
Form, Substance and Function.
101% of the time.
