Managing Writer's Anxiety
Listen now
Description
We can be a neurotic bunch of writers irritated when we feel blocked, euphoric when the writing comes, worrying about if we are good enough, internalizing comments and criticism, stressing about every word and detail trying to work up the nerve to hit "send" and release the work to the world. But this anxiety can keep us from writing and diminish the quality of our work. Plus, it isn't a whole lot of fun. In this episode, we talk about how anxiety can block writers and what we can do to overcome it and keep writing.
