edit data

Starting off my life in a small town outside of Medellin, Colombia, I am a first generation immigrant, social worker, clergyman, Doctor in Theology, professor and author. A personal project, meant to share stories of my youth with my children, has turned into a rediscovery of my roots. Growing up in the 1970’s and 1980’s Medellin of Pablo Escobar, I recount my own experiences in light of a painful period of Colombian history. I now reside in Louisiana with my wife and 4 children.

In my case, writers block usually occurs when I place a value on my writing prematurely. I type a paragraph or two, then proceed to read it and reread it, thinking that it is not good enough. I then become discouraged and stop writing all together.

To solve this problem, I remind myself about the great value of the editing process. I now know that judging the content will happen much later and that the public will never see the imperfect paragraph as it stands when I first write it. This gives me freedom to create without paralyzing fear.(less)
