An epiphany at a time of a writer's block

Having an expansive knowledge of the language, in and of itself, cannot define a good writer. Messages should be sent across. Not cheap messages, but messages that rouse, influence, and move people to transformations in thoughts, actions, and perspectives. If a writer is able to penetrate his reader’s mind and challenge the plateauness of a thinking, he goes beyond the threshold of talent. And for him to do that, he has to exhaust his whole being, squeeze out fragments of intellect, risk his vulnerability, and expose his humanity.

i think, other than what you've mentioned, another important factor is for the writer to open up his heart to the readers in the same way that he's expecting them to open theirs.
