E67. Dealing With Writer's Block
About this episode
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.
