Episode 60 - Dealing With Creative Blocks

September 23, 2018
Despite your most disciplined attempts to show up every single day, inviting the muse, yet not leaving things to dumb luck, you sit down for your daily ritual, and nothing comes.

This is made all the worse by a looming deadline, or being behind in production.

So what do you do when you doing everything right, and nothing comes?



  • Let it Happen.   Reduce the stress and stigma around having a block.  It’s natural
  • Immerse yourself in unrestricted thought
  • Talk with friends, fantasize, argue, debate, discuss
  • Stay immersed in your topic - read, research
  • Don’t resume writing until the ‘spark’ appears
