Writer’s Block Philippines believes that writing is both art and craft, both creative andmethodical, 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.

Form, Substance and Function.101% of the time.
