Writers block can be a significant obstacle, in some cases the most significant obstacle, to creating a beautifully crafted piece of work. Without writers block, you can feel completely free to express your thoughts and ideas into a moving piece of living articulation that can inspire, capture and lead the emotions of countless others. There are two basic reasons that people get writers block. Because they are two sides of the same coin, they can easily be dealt with, leaving you with the power to freely write and express your ideas for all those reasons that are important to you. The first reason is fear of failure. Everybody has fear of failure of one sort or another. Many people have a small voice inside their heads that is always giving less than helpful advice. Usually in the form of "It's not good enough." You may hear that voice tell you your characters aren't believable enough, your story line isn't believable enough, nobody will want to read what you writing, and other complete nonsense. The easy trick around this is that whenever you write something; simply tell yourself that it is only a draft. You will always come back later and improve on it. A work in progress. You'll be amazed to discover that many bestselling novels sitting on bookshelves around the world right now are still, in the minds of the author, "Works in progress." When you release the need to write a perfect piece of prose, you will free your creativity and ability to express your ideas with much more fluidity. The second is fear of success. Yea, I know. When I first heard about this I thought the same thing. Doesn't everybody want success? Yes, on some level. But on another level, many of us are terrified of success. Because with success brings attention. And many people fear attention. This is the reason public speaking is one of the biggest fears of people today. When people find out that you are a successful writer, they will likely have many questions, questions that you may not know the answers to, and you'll feel put on the spot. Because writing is such a cerebral process, all these unconscious fears are swirling around and can get in the way of the creative process. The simple way around this is to publish something every day. On a blog, on an Internet forum, on this site. Give yourself the real experience that publishing won't bring the world immediately clamoring to your doorstep hoping to catch you in an awkward moment. You'll be surprised how much positive feedback you'll receive. If you can, set up your own website and get some blogging software and publish something every day. As time goes on, you realize that what you do have to say is important, and many people will enjoy reading it. Once you get over these two fears, which are both imaginary anyway, you'll be well on your way. Taking the first step is sometimes the hardest for some. Because you can imagine what it will be like when you become successful, you can take advantage of this opportunity. You'll find out just how easy that is when you visit http://www.georgehutton.net/zapotec ------------------ ARTICLE END ------------------ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
