Overcoming writers writer's block how to howto writebynight write by night austin help creative writing techniques psychetruth #Psychetruth #WellnessPlus
I sleep everyday planning about things to write something on the next day and I wake up saying "I'll do it tomorrow and will hear some music or watch a movie for now".
Damn ME!
Currently suffering from writer's block and really enjoyed this video. I think I might be overthinking. I'm trying to write a novel and I worry continuously about what others will think, about how stupid it is to even try and about what will happen if it's terrible... I think I need to just enjoy writing for the sake of writing!
Thanks for the great video!
I am such a perfectionist that I can't finish anything. I always worry the plot isn't good enough.
Very helpful.
Very nice viddy. Just to sum it up...Finding and removing the cause of the inability is the ultimate goal. You suggest changing one's writing habits, writing about one's inability and taking the words "writer's block" out of one's vocabulary as three tools to get the flow of writing going. Real soul searching, and/or professional help maybe neccessary, true, but these are very helpful tips. Thank you.
Big expectations out of myself is hampering my progress! thanks for the video!
the last one, is the most important suggestion! never tell nor think the words "writer's block".
These are great tips. I've had trouble writing for a little while, but I have sense then been writing blog post and poetry. The feedback I'm getting on my post and poetry is just phenomenal. I believe that that feedback is what's changing my mindset. I have a novel I need to get written. people are counting on me to write it.
This might seem weird, but I enjoy listening to you talk.
The thing about habits seems fascinating and I notice I am always needing change but I've been forcing myself to stick with one habit. Thanks!
I worked as a staff writer at a porno magazine before they started taking unsolicited material. I've found that knowing people I'd never have to see would read my work made it easier to write and know what exactly the readers wanted took off a ton of pressure. I like not having to deal with people who read my work personally
Thank You Justine, this was very well presented. Sometimes I do have difficulty composing on the computer as I find that my mind doesn't think as clearly. I have been forcing myself to write directly onto the computer as it is ultimately much faster, though I don't know if there is any improvement in my writing or even if it is as good.
Your reason for when you had your writers block is similar to mine. I feel like I am under pressure to write an even better book than the one I wrote first and as a result I suffer from the anxiety of it. It's a bit like "they loved my last work, but what if this is not as well received?". I don't want to feel as if my best work is behind me, and it's holding me back. I feel like I am trying to one-up myself and I'm over-thinking it too. I think I should just try to do what I did before, write and write without even thinking about spelling mistakes and edits or what's flying off my key-punching fingers, and just get it all down and not even think about it at first. But I seem to be over-analyzing everything I write which makes it harder. I need to be free with my writing again.
I seem to have all three causes of Writers block; I expect too much from myself/Fear of failure, I grew up with both extremes (Being praised too much at an early childhood and then later on not enough), And I feel reluctant to step into a leadership position (As I am more one to follow). I've been trying to write my novel for at least two years now, I always end up erasing what I write because it's never good enough for me and I cannot seem to get over that mentality...
Awesome video very informative in a short amount of time well worth watching several times and saving to my favorites,I'm gonna share this with my friends.
All sounds like good advise.
Good work psychetruth.
This would be awesome as a Podcast...
Don't give up, it's not like college is the be all and end all in these things, I got kicked out of school at 14 and never went to college yet I'm ghostwriting now and screw the academics, graphic novels are getting more popular every day, just that some people who aren't your target audience won't see your vision of things in the same way, write because you enjoy it, knowing someone else enjoyed it is just an added bonus
I tend to listen to a lot of music as I write too, I've been especially listening to lots of it on here lately, I've found some wonderful channels here too, it can help the flow and mood but still...*sigh*, ah well, I'll get there again I hope :)
You can get drawer's block too. Very similar. Doodling helps. perhaps you should doodle words! :) they don't even have to make sense. no expectations very fulfilling. you could always read a book! :)
Excellent a you advice. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I thought I were on a video about Overcoming #WritersBlock and you talk about what's that.
I would say to create a timeline so you know what will happen. And also to have everything organized.
What is it, when you worry about plot holes, and simply not finding enough research for a specific time period for a project set partially in a historical time period? I have this odd refusal not to proceed without knowing the exact known historical events.
That made a lot of sense thank you.
So you received affirmation and then after that you received criticism?
Great story, Mark!
you're so great. this is so helpful!
Alright I've been watching these for a while now but I have a question I need to ask. Say I have multiple books that I want published. Would it be better to write them all and then try for approval one by one within a set date between each other or write them separately and publish them as I finish? If anyone can help me it would be very helpful.
Hi my name is Gia and I have always wanted to be a writer, writing is all I think about but when ever I began to write I would go blank and before you know it I would find my self doing some thing else I have so many ideas and stories in head and its driving me crazy because I don't know how to put it on paper can you help me please.
Very helpful, thank you
I have that kind of writer's block where I just don't know what is going to hapin next. I know how the story ends and how it begings but I just don't know what will hapin now. please help me in the comments.
'a reluctance to step into a position of authority...' *So true* and easier said than done when so many writers I am guessing do not experience authority over other aspects of their lives, or they 1. Would not find writing gratifying, but would do that other activity that gives them that sense of authority and 2.Would have little to say in their writing if they excell in another area in life.... (Contenntment isn'[t very inspiring
Wow! I feel this!!
Thank you this really helped me. I think I'm alive again.
One day I burst out crying in my room b/c I couldn't finish something I was writing. I threw things around my room and barricaded my door. I hate Writer's Block.
When I heard about the 10,000 hour rule, it caused severe writer's block!
It is called Procrastination, not just on writing, but also doing all sorts of things(planing to do) and never achieving it(finalizing it). Especially when you have financial and money problems(administrating estates, IRS, bad investments,etc.). Writing is the last thing on your mind.
Thank you :)
thanks... very helpful=)
So writer's block isn't the same thing as running out of ideas?
I’m trying to make my characters more unique because they have bad personalities but I can’t think of anything and I hate it.
Write,write,write until crap becomes gold.
That awkward moment when she's saying the 3 main causes...and you realize you have all three. O_O
The only way to over come writer's block is to sit down and just write. No bullshitting. That's the only way I have over come this thing.
another suggestion: if you are not able to write your own project, do start to copy someone's book.
Not sure about "Writer's block", just get thrill to be continue, because too horrible, too much violence, and life thritenig to continue....
perhaps it means that you are not so fallen in love with the matter you are writing about...?
I am a writers blockie, and I can't write anything.
I just drink
Alot.
very good video, deserves more views, you know what you can do? wear less clothes.
Ty d:-)
@IronicallyVague

They are above her eyes, on her brow.
