During the decade I spent struggling to write my first book, I usually blamed writer’s block. I finally discovered the secret that took me from that frustration and discouragement to not only finishing the book, but then writing and publishing six more in just two years, with three of those going from start to finish in just six months.

 

THE SECRET?

Writer's block is just a myth. The state of paralysis that we call writer's block is really just a symptom of one of the four primary obstacles that every writer has to face and overcome on the journey to becoming an author.

  • Fear: The self-doubts, comparisons, and worries about the end result that arise as we write.
  • Confusion: The lack of a clear story map and process to help us confidently tell our story without stalling out.
  • Friction: The ways that our schedule, our relationships and even our writing systems can complicate or interrupt our process.
  • Discomfort: The inevitable fatigue and growing pains that come along with learning any complex new skill.

Any one of those obstacles can grind your writing to a screeching halt, especially if you aren't aware of what is causing it in the first place. Essentially what we call writer's block is the result of worrying about the outcome while we are still in the process of creating. Learning how to face into and overcome each of those obstacles is the key to unlocking consistent and confident writing.
