Writer’s Block is Always Caused and Curable
May 23, 2013//Comments Off on Writer’s Block is Always Caused and Curable
This essay by Fairfield University professor Elizabeth Boquet on how her writing productivity suffered when she switched from teaching to administration is a perfect illustration of the principles that:
1) procrastination/writers block/underproductivity are always caused (versus being some kind of intrinsic moral flaw like “laziness” or “lack of discipline”);
2) the causes are always outside ourselves, in our current or past contexts; and
3) it’s *far* more productivite to problem-solve around the causes than succumb to shame, blame, or guilt.
Oh, and
4) THE PROBLEM IS SOLVABLE.
