The world is a weird place to live.
Is Writer’s Block Self-protection?
When you sit down to write and freeze, it’s not because you don’t have enough ideas.
It’s because the next sentence feels too honest.
Too revealing. Too close to the bone.
And somewhere inside, you’re asking: Who am I to say this? What if it’s not profound enough? What if I’m not enough on the page?
The Middle is Where Books Go to Die
Returning to the spine is the only way to regain momentum.
Not adding more words. Not pushing harder. Realigning the story.
This is usually the point where I help writers clarify the spine before they lose steam.
