CAROL KILLMAN ROSENBERG
Over the past twenty-plus years, I’ve worked with hundreds of authors at every stage of the writing and publishing process. What’s clear is that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to writing, developing ideas, or even finding the motivation to write.
With that in mind, I’ve put together all the motivational and practical strategies I’ve learned over the course of my career in book publishing so that virtually anyone can renew their writing mojo and make progress on the page.
I don’t have all the strategies or answers, but I do have some, and I’m happy to share them with you in my book Writer’s Block.
This is your writer’s block and you get to decide how to tackle it.
Grease your gears • Give your brain a break . . . or boost • Kindle your creative fire • Seek clarity • Get practical • Loosen up • Create structure • Team up • Hole up • Throw caution to the wind • Have some fun • Have less fun • Take yourself seriously . . . or don’t
Look inside . . .
Writer’s Block helps you explore what’s getting in the way of your words so that you can put your fingers to your keyboard with renewed confidence and motivation. With more than 160-plus tips, techniques, activities, and prompts, you’re bound to find just the right strategy on any given day to help you get back in the writer’s groove. From playful to practical, the pages in this book aim to help you tackle and take down the block that’s keeping you from moving forward.
Feelings of Inadequacy?
Maybe you’re being too hard on yourself or maybe you really do need to take a few lessons and hone your craft. You decide.
Too Many Distractions?
When you have practical tools and strategies in place, you won’t be able to use distractions as an excuse. Find another.
Not in the Right Mindset?
If the newsfeed in your mind is on auto scroll, strategies like mini meditations and visualizations can reboot your brain.
Not Sure What to Say?
Anyone can get a bot to create emotionless content, but no self-respecting writer wants to do that. Instead, find your authentic voice.
Too Serious?
Gosh! Does everything have to be “do or die”? Nope. Sometimes a little nonsense gives your brain a much-needed break.
Afraid to Be Rejected?
You have thoughts, you write them down, and then you share them. And now people can actually read your thoughts. Yikes!
