Discover the tricks that your brain uses to keep you from writing��nd how to beat them.
Do you:
- Want to write, but find it impossible to get started?
- Keep your schedules so full that you don�� have any time to write?
- Wait until the last minute to write, even though you know you could do a better job if you gave yourself more time?
- Suddenly remember ten other things that you need to do whenever you sit down to write?
- Sabotage your own best efforts with lost files, missed deadlines, or excessive self-criticism?
The good news is that you��e not lazy, undisciplined, or lacking in willpower, talent or ambition. You just need to learn what�� going on inside your brain, and harness the power of brain science to beat resistance and develop a productive writing habit.
In Around the Writer�� Block, Rosanne Bane-- a creativity coach and writing teacher for more than 20 years-- uses the most recent breakthroughs in brain science to help us understand, in simple, clear language, where writing resistance comes from: a fight-or-flight response hard-wired into our brain, which can make us desperate to flee the sources of our anxieties by any means possible.
Bane�� three-part plan, which has improved the productivity of thousands of writers, helps you develop new reliable writing habits, rewire the brain�� responses to the anxiety of writing, and turn writing from a source of stress and anxiety into one of joy and personal growth.
