For me, it's all about putting words down on the page, even if they don't make sense or will be deleted later. The momentum will eventually push through the logjam.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1 July: Recently, how excited have you been to sit down to write?
I've got a #WritersBlock on the two main stories I'm trying to finish, and a third story requires a pretty much full rewrite to fix pacing and background.
The recent and oncoming heatwaves aren't helping the mood either, so I'd say sub-zero.
Can't wait for winter.

Art is living. The act of creation is movement. Creative, you’re walking your path in one direction or another.
The only way you trip over past projects is if you’re going the wrong way.

It’s my 20th anniversary, creatives, and my love has been in and out of the hospital for days.
I still wouldn’t trade him for the world—and I can say that because of a specific attitude choice.
Creative, hope must be watered, guarded, and grown, or it will be paved over.

It’s time to teach someone else how to do your art.

TODAY'S VIDEO: CREATIVE LOWS ARE NORMAL. https://youtube.com/shorts/5E_0pCTyimM
You know how after a big high (a party, a kiss, a success), you sometimes crash after and feel pretty darn lousy about life?
Creative, this applies DIRECTLY to your art.

“A writer is someone who has taught their mind to misbehave.”
– Oscar WildeThe thing is, creative, that if you’re going to “break” rules or genre to make your point, you have to KNOW the rules and genre first.

You probably know the expression, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
This principle is a very powerful tool for your art.

I spent yesterday at the hospital.
When I got home, I wrote one fairly crap sentence.
Creative, the reason WHY I did applies directly to you.

Creative, let’s talk about one of the hardest things you’ll face: negative feedback.
There's good news. Even though it feels terrible, bad reviews are NOT, in fact, personal.

If you hit a writer's block, it's because you don't know something. Learn something!
And don't for the love of god try to fix it by using a fucking #LLM
