Writer’s Block doesn’t exist — and I have the science to prove it.

Allow me to share some insider information with you—writer’s block is almost exclusively a problem for beginning and casual writers. When writing becomes more than a hobby, it’s just not a good excuse for failing to produce.

“If I could only just get my thoughts on paper…” is a lament I have heard countless times from classmates and non-writers who dream about having the time and willpower to write. What this really means is they wish for the final draft of a masterpiece to magically appear on paper without investing time or effort.
