Break Through Writer’s Block
Write Your Screenplay Podcast
Hosted by: Jacob Krueger
Do you struggle with writer’s block? You’re not alone; every writer has had to face this obstacle. Though commonly thought of as being stuck and staring at a blank page, the truth is more than one type of writer’s block can impact your ability to share your story. Both forms can lead you to the false belief you weren’t meant to be a writer.
“If you're experiencing standard writer’s block, where you aren't writing at all, this is actually a good thing.”
It’s true! It’s so important for any writer to understand that breaking through writer’s block is easier than you thought possible. In Part One of this two-part podcast series on writer’s block, Jacob Krueger will show you how to build a no-stress, low stakes, regular writing habit that allows your playful, creative mind to freely flow and fill the page with some simple steps, such as:
Creating a sacred writing space
Breaking your writing down into manageable goals
Focusing on quantity not quality
“In order to build a habit of writing, you need positive reinforcement.”
When you retrain your subconscious mind to treat your writing with the same respect as showing up for an important meeting, you’ll completely shift your ability to create and kiss writer’s block goodbye. It’s all about reframing your attitude toward your writing goals by:
Scheduling your writing
Celebrating your successes
Releasing the myth of “discipline”
“It isn't whether you do or don’t have enough time to write, it’s a matter of the little choices you're making every day.”
If you’re driven by a passion to write, don’t let writer’s block stop you. With just a few small choices each day, you have the power to overcome it, breakthrough, and put yourself back in the driver’s seat of your creative life!
