Writer's Block Instant Cure

Cure writer's block in 3 minutes -- no matter what you want to write.

From the book "Writing FAST: How to Write Anything with Lightning Speed", author/producer Jeff Bollow shows you a simple, fast, guaranteed way to break through writer's block instantly.

The secret is simple: By giving yourself permission to write garbage, you overcome writer's block instantly, allowing your creative flow to resume. But what about the inner Critic -- that voice that tells you your ideas are terrible? Make a deal with it, and tell it to wait its turn.

This is the first in a series of writing tips for writers of all levels.

Words.
Words!
WORDS!

Write when you're happy. Write when you're sad. Write at your home. Write at your school/work. Write as much as you want. Write as little as you want. But don't never give up on the goal. Write even then, when everything seems gone, because of those moments brings you the most powerful feelings that you've ever experienced. As long as you write for the goal which you've set, you're taking steps towards achieving that goal.

Giving myself permission to write garbage actually sounds good. I'm always stressing abt making it perfect

[Aethuviel]

After watching this some months ago, I realized that's why I wrote whatever I wanted as a kid/teen - but I don't anymore, as an adult. I plan and plan and plan for YEARS because it has to be "perfect" - but that's like planning a painting that has to be "perfect", and never actually practice painting. I wrote as a kid because I wasn't afraid it would suck.

Thank you very much... I will try this out... I am seriously facing writers block...

[MrBlueboy]

Oh my god... for a full day I wrote ZERO words for my essay (due in 3 days). Watched this video in hysterical desperation and wow... I'm 2.5 pages into it. You rock!

“That voice, is the block” I was legit just thinking you were gonna say that
Also thank you for this I’m going to continue my fanfiction now

[judithlopez]

I accomplished in a matter of *MINUTES* what had taken me *DAYS* to do!!! Thank you much!! You just saved my grade!! 📝💯

11 years and this still the best video on writers block.

[thestorywasbetterinmyhead]

I really didn't think this was going to work but omg! Giving me, an overthinker, 3 minutes to write anything I wish was genius. I haven't written anything in weeks. Thank you! 10 years later and this is still great advice!!

I thought I was going to hear things like, "Go out and get inspiration or do something that will inspire you." but instead I hear this and it really helped a lot. I tell myself to do that sometimes but it's just the fear of not writing something perfect. My 'critic voice' is saying, "Seriously Sash, would you feel drawn to a book if it had a part like this?" then I would delete it. Thank you for that small meaningful speech. I shall continue writing garbage with pride now😂😂😂

I'm a producer that has two solo projects and a band, and even if this is intended for a different kind of writing, this has helped me immensely in being productive with my music.

[yeniferescobar]

The hardest part about writing an essay is getting started and figuring out what it is I want to say. This really helped me get going and I plan to watch it every time I begin to feel that block return. Thank you.

0:05 did this man really said "Forever", and not 1 second after "If you ever experience it again"?

[cherylproffer]

As a professional writer, I just had to hear your “4-minute” solution. I was shocked and just laughed. You made total sense. I sat down and wrote 14 pages, none of it garbage! Thanks for reminding me that I control my thoughts. 👍🏻👍🏻😎
