Is Writer’s Block a Thing?

Let’s start this off with explaining what writers block is. Writers block is when you sit down to write and you can’t get words to come. So we are asking the question is writers block really a thing?

I believe there is such a thing as self resistance. So when you aren’t in the right state of mind or you just plainly don’t want to do something your brain will deflect to every other task on planet earth until there are no more. (If you want to learn more about that subject I highly recommend The War Of Art book!)

But here’s the thing. When it comes to creative endeavors half the battle is starting. Especially with writers block or artist block. Just start typing, drawing, writing, etc.

As creatives we tend to overthink everything. The idea is just to get the creative ideas flowing. But in order to do that you have to stop being so concerned about “if it’s good.”

But we never ask that when we talk. We never get “talkers block.” It honestly makes me want to roll my eyes just thinking about it. That’s because talkers block isn’t a thing. So that make s me wonder if writers block is real or is it just all in your head?

Honestly I think the majority of it is an illusion.

What do you think?
