Writer’s Block looms
like a sharp-clawed monster over every writer. A daily discipline—No Day
without Lines—is extremely helpful, no matter how many you schedule for a
particular day.
Nulla Dies Sine
Linea is our mantra, right?
We can overcome a
simple refusal to write by maintaining discipline and side projects and our
escapes when we’re overwhelmed.
We can defeat
Procrastination by overcoming the Twin Fears of Failure and of Judgment. If our
worries are failure and judgment, those problems are not with our writing but
are inside ourselves. Root them out. Our writing is for us. Improve whatever
weaknesses we see. When people point out weaknesses, consider these learning
opportunities and keep improving.
We’ve reached the
slimy cave of that real Horrible, Terrible Monster than can destroy everything,
not just our writing but our hopes and joys.
Type 3 Writer’s
Block is Inertia, and Writer’s Inertia kills words and contentment, plans and
dreams, grace and well-being.
Yet we can and must
defeat Inertia. Here’s how.
