      End Writer's Block - Amanda Symonds

      What is Writer's Block?

      It is that feeling when you sit down to write, and nothing comes out, or what comes out feels like rubbish. It is the bane of every writer's existence and can strike at any time, no matter how experienced you are.  For some people, it is a fear of the blank page or a writer’s anxiety. It can be caused by perfectionism or a lack of confidence. It might be procrastination or Indecision. It could be writer’s block if you are struggling to come up with ideas, if you start writing and then delete everything, or if you just can’t seem to get going.

      There are many techniques, tools and advice from famous writers that can help you overcome writer's block, and this book will explore some of the most popular ones. With a little bit of effort, you'll be able to get your writing mojo back in no time!

      Is Writer's Block Real?
