Here’s a snippet of the post.

Think about it: you are on the wrong side of the deadline and you desperately want to write that story or poem or essay but the words won’t come. Every single line you have typed in the past thirty minutes doesn’t make any sense at all. You have probably hit the backspace button a thousand time already.

• Anxiety: Most writers struggle with anxiety and fear. While some have a healthy dose of fear, others allow themselves to be crippled and numbed by this emotion. Creativity flourishes where there is little or no fear. Get rid of your doubts. Try not to worry about things you have no control over. How can you accomplish this feat? I’ll share a few tips in my list below.
