hide everybody Garrett Pearson here
author of how to write a book ASAP and
day seven we're again we're going to be
talking about writer's block
now writer's block is something that
happens to every writer I don't care who
you are it's gonna happen and if it
hasn't happened yet then you're so lucky
because it will happen it will be a road
block that you'll run into writer's
block is just when your brain shuts down
and you can't think creatively
that's essentially what it is you can't
think creatively you can't put pen to
the paper and or fingers to the computer
or whatever it is you're doing and
you're just having a hard time
continuing writing so that you can reach
that finish date that you so desire to
finish on and that goal that you set so
writer's block how to overcome it I'm
gonna give you some exercises some
things that you can do to help you and
then I'm also going to give you two blog
posts ok the links are going to be under
the video ok in the description or else
on the blog I'm right under the video ok
now to links directly to two blog posts
that I've written in one of those blog
posts there's also an interview I did
with Brian Cohen all about creative
writing and have helping you overcome
that writer's block so today I've got a
lot of great bonuses for helping you
overcome writer's block so but one thing
that I do want to talk about today is
your left and right side of your brain
okay you have two sides of your brain
did you know that now your left side of
your brain is very logical analytical
okay this is the side of the brain you
need to shut down when you're writing
the right side of your brain is your
creative side okay this is the side of
the branding you need to turn on okay
the right side of the brain is a
creative it's going to help you start
writing to help you get going so here's
what I teach all my students in my
author success training system I teach
them to turn off the left side and turn
on the right side so let's learn how to
turn on off the left side of the brain
you just need to sit down and write and
stop worrying about grammatical errors
about punctuation any of that none of
that matters through this whole journey
of you writing your book
it doesn't matter until you're done with
the rough draft and you send it to a
proofreader or you proofread it yourself
okay and then it goes to the copy editor
after that so don't worry about what
you're writing just write and you can
come back and rewrite later and then it
will get edited in the publishing phase
whether you're self-publishing or
traditionally publishing so stop
worrying about all the things stop
worrying about what people are gonna
think about your book because guess what
it doesn't matter what they think about
your book because it doesn't exist yet
okay so turn off that left side of the
brain now you need to turn on the right
side of your brain does the the creative
side okay the creative side of your
brain you need to turn on and you can do
that if you again the links below to
some blog articles that I wrote and
there's another one so there's three
links below ones directly to the
interview with Brian Cohen where he
teaches you how to think creatively and
have a write creatively so you need to
turn on that right side of the brain so
I suggest you watch that interview and
you can do that in a lot of different
ways you can go out for a walk Gabey
right before you write go out for a walk
and just look at nature that's something
that I love to do just go look at nature
go look if you live in the city then
just go walk around and watch people and
see what they're doing and start coming
up with ideas and creativity in your
mind and just relax you just need to sit
down and relax
and start writing now if you still sit
down and you can't write then you
haven't turned on your right side of the
brain so you need to figure out what is
it that relaxes you what is it that get
you in the creative mindset so those are
the tips for today links below to those
blog posts in that interview you're
gonna love those so go read those thank
