Writer's Block ~ Defeat It / Overcoming Type 2 / 7:39

Defeating Writer’s Block is easy to say, not so easy to do. We writers have to discover the problem we’re having with those pesky little words.

1st, we have to find those pesky words—and they do like to hide.

2nd, we have to write those found words down—whether in a notebook or straight to the keyboard. That’s a whole problem on its own. We can’t count the Block as a simple disruption, a wholesale explosion of our writing time.

It’s the Desire and the Initiative to write that’s the problem.

In our diagnostic quiz (at the end of the Introduction segment), the weakness of our desire and the weakness of our initiative are the driving factors that keep us out of our chair.

Last episode’s Type 1 of Writer’s Block is Writer’s Refusal, and I consider it the easiest of the Blocks to diagnose, admit, and defeat.

This episode’s Type 2 is a harder Block to defeat.

What is the Type 2 Block? Writer’s Procrastination.
