Topic dedicat materialelor, lecturilor utile pentru a ne perfectiona arta de a scrie: Help For Writer’s Block| QUOTE | he good news is that, according to studies I’ve read, the better a writer you are, the more likely you are to get writer’s block. The more you know about your subject, the tougher the time you’ll have on average.
Think about it… because you’re a good writer, you have high standards for your work. It takes an astonishing level of quality until you’re satisfied with your work. Not only that, but there’s also a ton of external pressure to produce high quality. If you’re writing a dissertation for a PhD, your graduate committee will constantly make complex demands that cause you to second-guess yourself. If you’re an author, you’re under massive pressure to produce perfection. And so on.
What I’m getting at is that writer’s block is caused by being focused on the outcome while you’re writing.[...]
With that in mind, hang onto your seat because here is the cure for writer’s block:
1. Stop Fooling Yourself Into Thinking You’re Writing When You’re Really Not.
2. Figure Out What Your Interruptors Are and Quarantine Them.
3. Stop Calling It “Writer’s Block”
4. Use A Model. |
| QUOTE | Different writers face different advantages and drawbacks in forming good writing habits. The circumstances of your personal life may make it easy or hard to find writing time, but time itself is not the real issue--it's habit. Writing must be something you do regularly, like brushing your teeth. The writer who waits for inspiration will wait even longer for a complete, published novel.
Writing habits flourish best in routine, but the efficient writer also exploits opportunity.
Routine: Set aside some time every day when you can work undisturbed for an hour or two--first thing in the morning, during lunch, after dinner, whenever you can set aside other demands. Ideally, it's the same time of day. Your family and friends will soon build their routines around yours. With luck, they will resent your unscheduled appearances during your writing time, and will send you packing back to your desk.
Keep your writing equipment (paper, pens, software manuals, etc.) in your writing place, close at hand. Minimize distractions like interesting new magazines and books. Try to find a writing time when few people phone or visit. If a cup of coffee and some background music make you feel less lonely, by all means enjoy them.
