Updated! Overcome Writer’s Block Report
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The past few days, I’ve been busy working on updating the Overcome Writer’s Block Report that I released last year. And I’m happy to say it’s finally ready! The report is still free and sports a newly redesigned cover and a couple of bonus tips.
My plan is to use this report as a basis for a full-length digital book of probably somewhere around 150 pages. I hope to have it finished by April. Most of it is written, really, it’s simply a matter of editing, proofreading and put it all together.
So, if you’ve downloaded the original version, I invite you to download the newly updated copy and compare the two and if you have not downloaded the first edition, I invite you to download the new one and enjoy learning about ways to overcome writer’s block.
While the contents of this simple report isn’t anything earth shattering or even anything new in the writing world, it is what I hope will become a valuable resource for writers.
If you have thoughts on what else you’d like to see included in the full length book, please don’t hesitate to send me an email or post a comment here.

Annie,
This is a great read. And I love the design of the blog and article.
I do enjoy reading and agree it helps you structure what you say more naturally.
It’s 5:12AM and that tends to be the most creative time I have. Not 5:12 exactly. that would be silly. I mean early morning. then again, what about a series of 5:12AM posts? It’s different, but maybe not that creative!
Which is why another of your tips is excellent - don’t edit on the fly. I got a quote from a book I read - someone who was quoting someone else:
“Write with fury, correct with care”
I aspire to the other two tips - an orderly workspace and scheduling stuff. I’ve tried all sorts of things to overcome this but can’t!
But I’m not sure it’s a handicap. While part of what I do for a living is writing, mostly it isn’t. Writing for me is fun. And I like the freedom of just writing what I feel.
I can go through phases of organisation, but can’t stay consistent - and believe me I’ve tried!
This is a great blog and I couldn’t help stumbling this article! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ian!
I appreciate your kind thoughts.
And I get what you mean about 5:12, err, I mean early morning.
For me it’s late in the evening when I do my “best” work. Mostly because then I have fewer interruptions from the kiddos.
I like that quote . . . it makes a lot of sense. And yes, I get in these phases of super organization and then suddenly it’s chaos. But I try anyway. Who was it that said something about a cluttered desk is the sign of a genius?
So, thanks for stopping by. Come again soon.

Wow! I never knew about that quote. And here’s me thinking of tidying the desk.
I did once hear about the “volcano theory” which effectively advocated an untidy desk. When it’s tidy you can’t find anything. But with a “volcano” on your desk, the stuff you need is pretty much at the bottom of the volcano and in reach.
Probably a load of nonsense. But the chance to be a genius, and the tenuous volcano theory is good enough for me to just leave it that way.
Yeah, I heard it years ago and don’t remember where - one of those motivational posters, perhaps.
I don’t know, the volcano theory sounds pretty relevant to me . . . I know if I’m not extremely diligent when I clean my desk, I can’t find things for days! Not sure my desk is “volcano” bad, though, but it is often pretty full of stuff that I’m at least working on.

thanks much, man
