There's no one easy answer. Often, I need to take my mind off the problem. Go for a walk, sit in the park, write something else.

I once suffered terrible writer's block for months when I was attending a full-time writing course - ouch!

For more about conquering writer's block, check out my ebook, Write Your Book in Two Days.

Read widely in your genre or area(s) of interest. If you run out of steam, read up on other writers and their writing processes, or check out writers' YouTube videos.

Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop. Get really good at writing (giving feedback to other authors helps with this). Discover your own voice and gain confidence so that you are not so reliant on others' opinions. Expect rejection.

Writing is wonderful. To repeat: don't ever give up. (less)

Worse Than Slavery Parchman Farm and the Ordeal of Jim Crow Justice by David M.

Pema Chödrön
“The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes. ”
― Pema Chodron

“Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth”

“The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.”
― Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Pema Chödrön
“People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That's not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn't understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you're given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further.”
― Pema Chodron

Pema Chödrön
“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.”

Hi, Natasa. Thanks for your message. I wrote to you several weeks ago at nuit@artof4elements.com. It's very late in the day but I'll do what I can. It would be lovely to interview you for this project.

Take care.

Regards,
Zhana


Nataša Pantović Dear Zhana, thanks for your message about the interview! Would be very interesting to cover the Conscious Parenting Book. Hope this message reaches you. My e-mail is nuitpoetry@yahoo.com Nataša Pantović
