Stepping Off Now: Lessons in the Art and Craft of Creativity

E67. Dealing With Writer's Block


Listen Later

Does writer's block exist? Yes it does. In this episode I challenge those who say it's not a real thing by exploring my own recent experience with it. In my opinion, writer's block isn't just being unable to write, it's broader than that, and I talk about why, the reasons behind writer's block, what it looks like, and how I deal with it. This isn't your typical perspective (when is anything I do typical lol), and hopefully it will enlighten you a bit about the condition of writer's block and give you some more tools to deal with it if/when it happens to you. And if you are one of the people saying it doesn't exist in an objective sense, please reconsider! Listen to this episode for why.

You can find the essay I wrote that inspired this episode here.
