Most reasons are under the umbrella of "fear of failing" and I usually have exercises to trick my brain into writing again. I shared some inside my book "Harness Your Creativity" and I have found that talking about it with other writers really helps. Most of the time, it's a matter of will - of understanding that your brain is controlling you and taking the control back, no matter how "badly" you think you're writing. (less)

I started as a writing coach, designing programs to help aspiring writers discover their own process. Most of the time, we were focused on discovering their creativity and then channeling it into stories. When I realized that this helps in every aspect of life (professional & personal) simply by channeling the process into a different outcome, the idea for the book was born. (less)

Nadia’s Quotes

“Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret." Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, "the happiness that attends disaster." Or: "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy." I'd like to show how "intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members" connects with "the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age." I'd like to have a word for "the sadness inspired by failing restaurants" as well as for "the excitement of getting a room with a minibar." I've never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I've entered my story, I need them more than ever. ”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex
