Writer’s Block

Writer's Block And Your True SelfDo you experience writers block? How can you figure out what is blocking you and move beyond the block? The answer is as simple as asking four questions and changing one word that you say about yourself.

When you feel blocked, you can blame yourself. You can call yourself names. “Stupid.” “Lazy.” “Incompetent.” You tell yourself that there is something wrong with you.

You can also listen to people who claim that writer’s block doesn’t exist. All you have to do is just do it. So, you resolve to push yourself harder. You tell yourself that you are going to “Just Do It!” And every time you sit down—determined to make yourself write—it’s worse than it was the last time.

Sooner or later, between calling yourself names and the failed efforts to push yourself past the block, you just give up. You tell yourself that you don’t have what it takes to be a writer.

Why Do You Need Stories To Change Your Life?

Why do you need stories to change your life? Recently, someone asked me what I’m doing these days. I said that I’m writing about changing lives with stories. She responded with something like, “Oh, you mean reframing.” Actually, I don’t mean reframing. I really mean “stories.”
