Ending the Myth of Writer's Block, the Maker Monster We Get All Wrong [Unthinkable #208]
Writing matters... a lot. You don't need me to tell you that. But what happens when you feel like you can't write? Yes, on this episode we're talking about writers' block - what it feels like, how it shows up, and how we can tackle it once and for all.
This is our fourth episode hearing from creative people about their internal barriers, which we call Maker Monsters. Specifically, we'll hear stories and ideas about the dreaded moment when you can’t seem to put words to your ideas in quite the right way.
