Creativity is a fickle friend. One day she provides endless inspiration, the next, she’s nowhere to be found.

As writers, we rely on her gifts to fill the blank page. But, there are many obstacles that can block creativity’s flow.

In this little diddy below, I’ll share some practical tips to avoid common creativity killers. We’ll offer advice to keep those creative juices flowing smoothly, no matter what challenges arise.

So brew a hot cuppa Joe, sharpen your pencil, and get ready to gently coax your muse out from hiding. With the right approach, you can create an environment where inspiration can thrive.

Got social anxiety?

Get over it.

Who cares what those armchair critics think anyway? They wouldn’t know good writing if it punched them in the face, which it will if you keep at it.

Don’t let fear of criticism stop you from creating.

Drive on, and drive hard. You won’t get the satisfaction of seeing your work in print if you don’t.

Afraid of failure?
