Hacking Writer’s Block.
Writer’s block can be hell. Like insomnia or constipation. You want something to happen and it just doesn’t.
Writer’s block is like a concrete barrier keeping your car from falling down to the next floor. Not all writers have this problem but when it hits, it’s a bitch.
Lots of reasons why you can’t write. Usually nothing physical; no person is blocking you from your computer unless you have a two-year-old that wants to play or a cat that likes to sit on your keyboard.
Writer’s block is just yourself getting in the way. Or more accurately, your inner critic says things like “You can’t write that!” or “that’s just shit.” Or the more hurtful saying, “you don’t have any talent so why even bother?”
There’s lots more. Feel free to add your own as a comment.
How do you fall asleep, take a crap or write what you want to write? Like anything, it needs a helper. Warm milk, lots of fiber or maybe just a hack.
The trick is to outsmart that asshole that’s living rent free in your head and stopping you. You outsmart him writing AROUND the block.
