Read This If You Have Writer's Block

Feb 28, 2020

I can't think of what to write.

I don't know what will resonate with people.

This idea could be better.

This idea should be better.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

That's one of those inner voices that is stopping you from starting.

So, how do I avoid writer's block?

I literally just start writing.

I start writing about whatever is happening, relevant, on my mind, happened recently, whatever.

The process of writing and turning a story or an idea into a lesson/action happens as I go.

This helps me beat "writer's block."

I also write like I talk, which means that what I write is easy to understand and easy to read--because you're busy and have stuff to do.

I love talking about this because I feel like it plagues so many people.

Nike nailed this one with "Just Do It."

It's not just writers who get "writer's block."

It's entrepreneurs, teachers, consultants, physicists, and anyone else with a human brain.

You're not going to avoid feeling like you have it, but you can manage it when the feeling is upon you.

What is something you've been avoiding?

Maybe something you've been waiting on something/someone else for?

What would happen if you had to execute anyway?

If you're writing a book, a 2-minute version of that might be a blog post.
If you're shooting a movie, a 2-minute version of that might be an Instagram live video.
If you're writing software application, a 2-minute version of that might be a "hello world" script.

What else? I'd love to hear other ways you can take what you're working on and start with just 2 minutes of action.

If you're not sure or if you feel stuck, just reply/comment.

I bet we can find a solution, together.
