NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

I've had a comprehensive creative block (not just writer's block) for a couple of decades now. I've been working very hard for the past year or two to get rid of it, but there's still a way to go.

The last big obstacle for me is the residual fear. It's as if, having survived a near-drowning, I'm standing at the edge of the water and afraid to jump in.

The NaNoWriMo idea of writing fast and furiously, going for fluency over high craftsmanship and not caring whether anyone else reads it, might be just what I need to destroy this block once and for all. That's why I've taken the name "BlockBreaker" for my project.
