Stop Calling it Writer’s Block
Don’t victimize your brain that way…there is an easy solution.
Writer’s Block is a big fat myth. A lie. One we have been afraid of, avoiding, fearing, and running from as writers since the days we first put pen to paper.

Let me make my case — the one that says you will be ok. That the writing Boogie Man is not out to get you.
