Thanks for this! Great video! It’s like he’s saying doing it wrong so your brain can get it right! And in that case there is no wrong just levels ❤

Seth Godin likes to say there is no such thing as writers block - just people who are afraid of writing badly. I will slightly adjust the language to say we must understand what writers block really is - which is simply a fear of writing bad. We can all write something!

I used This example in a recent video in my 30 day challenge. The idea being what other blockages do we have in our lives? Are we really blocked or just afraid of doing something poorly?

To the person reading this I pray you find your internal freedom. The overflowing of love that allows you to suck at something lol 😂 And also allows you to celebrate yourself for getting started and every time you get better and or learn a lesson along the way.

Best wishes!

I wish I would’ve seen this like 2 weeks ago. I have a story I’m working on right now where I hit a wall because something felt wrong. I realized what the issue was but dreaded having to go back and fix it. What brought me back to it was coming up with the idea of changing character perspectives just like Sanderson was talking about here and suddenly it’s all clicking.
