Lee takes you through their latest bout of so-called block (turns out, it was just a bunch of excuses!) and some strategies for getting unblocked:
1. not beating the shit out of yourself for not writing
2. celebrating the small wins, and
3. creating minimum baselines. So minimum you can't not meet them.

âTalent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance.â ~James Baldwin

Is writerâs block real? What exactly is the âblockâ? Did you put it there or did someone else? Is the block depression, in which case maybe you need a break. Or is it just that you arenât sure of your argument, in which case you need to write. Are you in Jesusâs cave or Platoâs? If you asked Eve Sedgwick or Audre Lorde if they had writerâs block while they were dying of cancer they probably would have said, âI have writerâs block all the time, thatâs the whole reason I write.â
When youâre thinking (or bitching to someone else), that you have writerâs block, think about what you actually mean:
I donât know what Iâm trying to say
This essay is a mess
Iâm never going to figure this out
Nobody cares about this
I donât have enough theory.Connect with Allison @postphdtheblog or at allisonharbin.com
