Writer's block, an owner's guide: Silence and creativity
‘dja notice I’ve been silent for a month? One reason is that real life is still getting in the way. I’m doing so much counseling and so much coaching and so much study on my various creativity interests that I make little time to be creatively productive (but doing psychotherapy is a very creative activity, remember). The other reason is that Today I Write has reached a natural plateau that I always meant it to reach: a place where I’m going to consolidate and organize the 12,000 or so words that I have here so that I know what aspects of writer’s block I want to research next; and so that I can say clearly what my own theory of blocking is; and so that I can say what are the effective things that writers can do and what are the expensive snake-oil quack cures for writer’s block. And thirdly, I’m busily putting together the writer’s block workshop that I’m leading later in the year.
