Synopsis

What If Writer's Block Became Your Most Precious Teacher? An Empowering New Process For Writers Who Struggle With The Seemingly Insurmountable Middle Of A Project, From The Author Of Writing Begins With The Breath. Writer's Block Is Not A Mysterious Force That Has Aligned With Your Writing To Stop You In Your Tracks. Writer's Block Occurs When Hope Meets Fear--when Our Expectations For A Project Or Ourselves As Writers Run Head First Into The Fear(s) That Are Uniquely Tied To That Hope. Writer's Block Is Not External. It Is Not Part Of A Vast Conspiracy. It Is A Signal From Deep Within To Pay Attention To The Writing And To Pay Attention To What The Writing Is Asking Of Us As Writers. Using Deep Inquiry, Writing, Body And Breath Exercises, And A Range Of Interdisciplinary Approaches, On Being Stuck Helps Writers Uncover The Gifts Hidden Within Their Creative Blocks And Deepen Their Relationship Not Only To Their Work But To Themselves--
