Welcome to the Block!

If you’re a writer, or someone who wanted to tackle writing a novel or screenplay, then stick around! We’re going to have some fun.

Exploring techniques and tools I’ve picked up over the years, and using past and current writing projects for a reference, we’re going to break down some barriers, roadblocks and dare I say…writer’s block…to see your words make it to the page.

Most would-be writers merely think “someday I’m gonna write a book,” but they never start. An even smaller percentage start, perhaps even a few times, but then fizzle out. A still even smaller percentage make it to The End or Fade Out.

Why do so few writers fail to share their stories with the world? Because they’re lazy? Hardly. Because they don’t know how to write? They probably think so, among other things, like:

• Nobody will want to read what I write.
• I suck at telling stories.
• I can’t come up with anything original.
• I know the story I want to tell, but can’t figure out how to tell it.

And probably a ton more.

All these types of thoughts are just your brain’s way of protecting yourself. From what? I don’t know. Failure maybe? Maybe even success? Who knows?
​
For now, let’s just tuck all those negative and limiting beliefs into a box and tell ourselves…we can write a book or a screenplay, or both, or whatever it is we want to write.

​And let’s just have some fun!
