How do you deal with writer’s block?

I think the reason why is because I always try to "lean in" to what my inner voice wants to say - and then write from that place inside - rather than attempting to write about something that isn't organically happening in my mind and heart already.

The best way I can describe it is that I'm going "with the grain" instead of against it, in terms of what my natural expression wants to be. Instead of aiming for a particular type of tone or making a goal for a certain paragraph, section, or chapter, I try to let it remain a natural flow of consciousness the whole time.

Obviously at some point there are boundaries in the sense of keeping things organized, and not completely trailing off on irrelevant tangents. But even the higher-level categories and organization can be initially created based on a natural flow of consciousness, making it easier to fill in the gaps when sitting down to write.

Bottom line, it shouldn't ever be something that is forced. By letting words come out that naturally want to come out, I've been able to mostly avoid writer's block for much of my life.(less)

Interestingly, as a writer you almost never connect with someone on a thought or idea in real time. Instead, you'll have a thought while writing... and then days, weeks, months, or even years later - that thought will come back to life again when a given reader gets to that part in your book. In essence, they connect with you in the future.

To me, this is really cool - the idea that multiple readers are connecting with me on ideas for an unlimited amount of time after an idea is born. In a way, this makes the creative expression of a writer timeless, which is very cool to think about.(less)

“One way you can practice excellent posture is to use “power poses.” Raising your hands overhead with clenched fists such as a marathon runner might do after winning a race is a great one to try - spread your feet out to shoulder-length distance apart from one another, lift your chin, put a smile on your face, and raise your hands overhead. Now hold this for two full minutes. According to research, this gives you a measurable testosterone boost while decreasing levels of stress hormones in your blood stream. Once you’re done holding the pose, you will naturally maintain a more confident attitude and better posture for a good twenty or thirty minutes afterwards.”
