give up DISCIPLINE, you'll write freely

give up DISCIPLINE, you'll write freely

You're blocked, so you do what you're told: more discipline, word counts, butt in chair.

But in my experience, that just makes things worse. Before I started this YouTube channel, I spent a year stuck on a novel. Until I quit

Two days later the ideas flooded in.

What if writer's block isn't a weakness? What if it isn't even a problem?

What if writer's block is a signal that you're on the verge of a breakthrough?

That's what I found when I stopped trying to force my way through writer's block.

Behind the block is a new, more authentic version of you with something worth saying.

Your only job is to get out of its way.
