Overcoming Writer's Block: The Writer's Guide to Beating the Blank Page by Marcy Pusey reminds us that being a writer is a calling, a passion, and something we writers feel compelled to do. Unfortunately, that’s not always an easy task. We may have an idea for a story, but that blank page or screen in front of us challenges our ability to write a single word, let alone string together multiple sentences that make any sense. How can we overcome this dilemma, the notorious, infamous writer’s block? Writers have shared their thoughts on the subject as well as their experiences, but no one way works for everyone. However, due diligence and perseverance will always pay off, and exploring different possibilities will find the right path that suits each author. Take advice from seasoned authors and learn from the pros. Then try some of their techniques and troubleshoot your block.
Marcy Pusey’s self-help guide, Overcoming Writer’s Block, is a different look at a complex and often debilitating problem that all writers face from time to time. The book shares personal anecdotes as well as advice in this thorough look at the issue. This award-winning author breaks down the problem and addresses it in detail, even scientifically, providing strategies to help writers eliminate the mind freeze that defines writer’s block. The guide suggests how we can individualize our approach to conquering it, removing the block, reigniting our passion, and getting back to what we love most: writing. The approach presented in this book is complete and well-organized, allowing writers to unlock their temporarily frozen inner muse. A unique and informative approach to a real problem.
